toupee Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi all. I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with the exact details on the construction of a LP GT. I know what I can find on websites, but I am looking to know the details on the woods and construction. Is the mahogany weight relieved, chambered, or neither? Thickness of the maple? Number of pieces for the body construction? If anyone can clue me in to these things I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 solid body, 1 piece. 1/4 inch top (measured in the middle), long neck tenon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toupee Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks. Sounds more like a custom than a standard (which I thought it was) to me then unless I am missing something (I don't claim to be an expert). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubog Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 solid body' date=' 1 piece. 1/4 inch top (measured in the middle), long neck tenon.[/quote'] 1/4 inch? I don´t think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modoc_333 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 i totally misread what he wrote anyway... for some reason i was thinking he meant goldtop and not the model GT. sorry. and yeah, clearly thicker in the middle. i meant that it was a 1/4 (roughly) at the edge and thicker in the middle. i don't know what was wrong with me when i wrote that first post. beer perhaps.

Spindrift Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi LP GT and LP Gold Top (GT) may be confusing. This is certainly off topic but I can't find the LP GT (with flames) on the site. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevezapp Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 She's a beauty. How much did you pay for her? I've been after one for ages and one did come up on ebay in the States, but the guy would only take international payment through bank transfer, so I didn't risk it. One day I'll find one!

MCK Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is it just me or does anyone else also feel the flames on the GT are pointing the wrong way? I mean I would imagine the guitar to be flying to the left in playing position, headstock first in other words. The flames are indicating its going body first. Just doesn't feel right. Sorry Spindrift, no offense. Beautiful guitar in all ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindrift Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've paid 1795 £. I've buy her on ebay and indeed the man only take bank transfer But no problem at all. It's an amazing guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindrift Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've got her since a year now. I thought it was quite difficult to find! That's the only problem. I hope you will find one! Thanks hfd lol no problem MCK. I'm beginning to know you now! I live in the "Alpes de Haute Provence" in France, near the headquarters of the brand "l'occitane". For me the flammes are pointing in the right direction! 'cause this just makes me think of the "grill" or "Barbeuq" as we say at home in provence. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
