robinsondd Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hi all, My new LP Standard has arrived. My initial inspection found no defects/flaws. It looks perfect. I've been wanting a LP for years. The new management team and products at Gibson convinced me now is the time. I teamed it up with a Boss Katana MKII amp and a Boss RC500 Looper. Back in my day I had to use two stereo systems to lay down tracks to record lead over. So glad to learn about loopers. Happy camper here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinsondd Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thanks, It's my dream guitar too. It plays very well. Hard to set it down right now. Hooked up the Boss RC-500 looper and that is so much fun! Not very good at it yet but who cares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Nice looking LP - the burst seems to go from almost black around the edges into the center - very cool. You didn't mention is it a 50s or 60s Standard model? Anyway congratulations and enjoy playing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrichard27 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 "You didn't mention is it a 50s or 60s Standard model?" Come on man... Look at the tuning pegs and volume knobs.... Now, you tell us, is it a 50 or 60... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn something new every day. Though is it learned if you forget it inside a week? I will forget this. To tell the truth, I couldn't even tell you what kind of knobs are on my guitars without opening the cases to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) With these new LP Standards, I just look at the knobs. Reflectors on the 60s, no reflectors on 50s. Edited July 17, 2021 by NighthawkChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
