rockstar232007 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 That may be the nicest blue Les Paul I've seen. If not' date=' it definitely gives Raptor's a run for the money!! The one thing I find odd about it is the lack of binding on the fretboard. Seems strange that Gibson would produce such a nice instrument and not go all out.[/quote']These are basically Supremes (same body style/binding, etc), but without all the fance frills. It's relly just a fancy, better looking, suped up Studio, and I mean that in the NICEST pssible way. I DEFFINATELY want one of these, and I agree Tim, this is probably the ONLY blue LP that I've ever seen, that makes me =P~ =P~ Well, there was that one on Youtube ('59 RI Custom Order) that this guy was selling for like $13,000!

[/quote'] Technically, Aren't they ALL just suped up Studios? To be fair, wouldn't it be closer to the truth to say they were suped up Customs? Thanks for the welcome.

d1frehley Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Here is a pair of Premier 2's my brother and I bought. these are cell phone pics so the color and flame doesnt show up as well. The color is called Velvet Red. It differs from the Premier 1 in that it is more based on a Custom/Supreme instead of the Studio/Supreme. Neck binding, Head Stock binding etc.. From what I was told the Premier 1 & 2's were a sample run to see if dealers wanted to pick up this line and were never made available to the public in stores and only sold at the Gibson warehouse sale. I was told that there was probably on 50 of both styles made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me, do those have Ebony boards and the 3 piece flamed maple necks? I may still get one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
