GuitarCarrie Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hi Everyone! Today I got my very first Gibson Les Paul Classic in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. I am just now learning at the age of 42, so I am stoked! I was looking it over (I ordered it online from a dealer) and I noticed the back of it has a seam. It was just made in July of 2021 - but are they doing two piece backs on Classics now? I just want to make sure it is not a defect or damage from shipping, etc. I have a pic below. The line is perfectly straight though, so it appears to be a seam and I can feel it a little with my fingers. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Hello I googled - https://www.gibson.com/Guitar/USAI9Q269/Les-Paul-Classic/Heritage-Cherry-Sunburst If you look closely at the (small) pic of the back of the one in the link...there's a distinct seam. So yes you are correct - two piece back; looks bookmatched. I didn't know that. Best wishes! 🎸 Edited August 16, 2021 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
