GibSinCity Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I've always wondered why you don't often see blue as a color option available for Gibson Les Paul Standards. Appearantly it's so they can offer a "Custom Shop" version for $4000+... What makes this a Custom? Other than the price. Nice color, but four grand? `C-Mon! http://www.musician.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Les-Paul-Standard-Peacock-Electric-Guitar?sku=423543 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Plus a thousand! Well said man... I'm a fan of blue color as well and I would like to see more often on gibbies. I guess so is the case with many others and that's Gibson atitude about it... [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibSinCity Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah, it really ticks me off every time I see an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top in that color cause it reminds me of how cool they would look as Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba_leon Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Considering a brand new R9 custom shop is $5999.99, $4,000 seems like a fair price for something so "rare" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 That's it. I'm not buying from gibson ever again until they offer a les paul standard in asorted blue finishes: -Plain top blue. -Plaintop blueburst. -Flame blue burst. -Blue-silver burst. -Blue sparkle. I'd gladly buy one of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the blue LP Standard Double Cutaways from MF/GC/etc. Very nicely done. I have one in Ruby (only one I have seen in that color), and mine is chambered. It is an '07, and almost every USA LP that year was chambered (of course, there were some exceptions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson deleted those original forum posts. You have his most recent description in a post on these newer forums. You win then. By the way, I was not disputing you; I was repeating Raptor's past words and tried using a little tact in doing so. edit: forum not working quite right on quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Sapphire. Maybe they should offer that metallic paint style in at least a few basic color choices as an additional option for those models that offer Ebony or Gold-top, as another choice on a plus-top, like the Standard does. Maybe they'd sell a few more of those if it was a permanent option. Wow! That sparkled Custom is very "Show-Biz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
