merciful-evans Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The Satin is the least expensive of the 3. The finish is not high gloss. This saves a lot of work with buffing and probably has fewer finish coats too. The 60s models are a version that is based on the 1960s (actually form 1958 I think) style of build which has varied over the years. The most expensive is the Figured model, as the maple is selected for its figuring. This is a 'pattern' which is in addition to the regular grain pattern. This shows it: As for the 'Original' moniker, I don't know. Someone on here will though. Stick around and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson reserves the right to make changes at Will & does so often.. Could be Radius, Shape, Fret height, Ebony or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
