Benoit Trow Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm the original owner of a '78 or '79 Tobacco Burst, Les Paul Artisan that was purchased new from DJ's in Cicero, IL. Supposedly this was the guitar used at that year's NAMM show to introduce Gibson's dealers to the TP6 tailpiece. Anyway, just curious if these LPs are highly regarded, scoffed at or simply tolerated by you LP experts and aficionados? I myself mostly play acoustic fingerstyle now and, unfortunately, rarely break-out the electrics. If I do, however, the Artisan is what gets plugged in first! Cheers, Trow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Why would anyone hate a les paul artisan or a les paul in genreal...minus the fat necks or weight issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed91 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 "Why would anyone hate a les paul artisan or a les paul in genreal...minus the fat necks or weight issues." => The neck is slim, better than the one I have on my supreme. From my point of view, it's the best LP I've seen. It took me more than a year to find a good one, but now it's done and I'm really happy about it. That's *the* guitar I'll never sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushview Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I bloody love the Artisans. Gimme a 2 Pickup in Tobacco Sunburst any day of the week. Just the headstock and those inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
