RoyC Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 My 2017 Gibson Les Paul Traditional HP has some things on it that I can't even find for sale anywhere (except for the case) or fitted to any other Les Paul. Did Gibson make these items just for this model ? 1. Titanium nut. 2. The mounting screws for the bridge and the tailpiece have different heads to other LPs. 3. Chrome knobs. 4. Pick guard at a reasonable price. 5. Chrome truss rod cover. 6. Aluminium case. https://imgur.com/gallery/8oNUKei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eracer_Team Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The "High Performance" guitars where sort of all over the map with what they came with.. they did not come with the standard appointments as this was a thinking of the old management that people wanted something a little different than just a "standard" Les Paul http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2017/USA/Les-Paul-Traditional/High-Performance.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Suppliers were not Friends of Gibson by that time, not by a long way. Whatever parts are on those guitars probably weren't paid for, that's probably why you can't find them anywhere else. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 @rct I don't believe he's looking to buy replacements. Think he's wondering out loud about how the HP got appointments that other LP's did not, and if they were factory. And the answer was yes, factory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how none of it is for sale, after market, except for the pick guard and the case, both at silly prices. My G-force tuner has been replaced with Gibson Deluxe tuners, probably because, I can't see any replacement batteries for sale either. https://imgur.com/gallery/vWHBlyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why you would need replacements on a 3 year old guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
