Tman Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I sold 2 guitars so I could justify this. I had a Goldtop a couple of years ago and sold it because it was just too heavy. I looked around and this one is 8.3 pounds. 2016 Standard T with burst bucker pros, coil splitting and the most important thing besides the pickups (pups ) is the slim tapered 60's profile! I'll get some better photos soon. I am ecstatic. Been a tough month for us so I get to lose myself in this beauty! [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Why can't I see the pics? Not sure. There was an option to specifically deny access to anyone from midlands England but I am certain I didn't select that option. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Much more better. I think everyone needs a gold top. Hmm, I don't have one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Long & McQuade Musical Instruments in Canada. With a 30% discount for us Yankees because of the Canadian exchange it's an incredible deal on new Les Paul Standards from 2016. Essentially $1900. They won't ship to the US but if you know anyone in Canada and they can ship it to you then viola! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 You got it! Love a gold top. Very nice. That's light too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StRanger7032 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Nice! 8.3 lbs is manageable. My 2018 Classic goldtop is 10.8 lbs (dead serious). Its getting sold due to the weight just like your old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 besides the pickups (pups ) is the slim tapered 60's profile! Some folks poo poo the asymmetrical neck, but I love it. I'm glad they kept the design on the Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Some folks poo poo the asymmetrical neck, but I love it. I'm glad they have kept the design on the Standard. Completely agree. I played it last night. Perfect neck for me. I think I'll finally stop selling guitars and settle down with this one. Sounds incredible through my Sky King amp too.
