Gibson is supposed to be adding all that to 2008 standards but im not sure when they start doing it. Not on this one. I believe the new models come out in a few months. I think Gibson is wrapping up production on the "old" standard models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonicchaos Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 i don't normally like cherry bursts but that is the most georgeous standard (or maybe even lp) i've ever seen! i'm not just saying that either. don't let that one escape she's special (unless you wanna give it to me. then she's ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong, but I believe the reissue should have the Custom Shop case, which is a smoother tolex exterior with a burgundy velour interior.

hi13ts Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 What's a locking bridge for a Les Paul? When I hear of a locking bridge, I think of FLoyd Roses for Trems, but not a Tune-O-Matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one goes to 11 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 You're not helping us, Bluemoon. I'm going to have to go & sit in the corner repeating "You can't buy another guitar right now" until the compulsion subsides. But that is one lovely, lovely Les Paul - congrats.

Bluemoon Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 His my theory on this guitar (let me know if you agree). Because of the vibrant flame on this body, I am thinking it was destined for a higher-end model. However, there is a very, very slight dark mark on the front (a knot in the wood). I am thinking that as a result Gibson couldn't use it on the higher-end model and used on this standard instead. Would that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Holy Crap! What a beautiful guitar.Hey man take some pics outside with that thing Here you go Give us some pics from a different angle... or four The right side of the bridge and the right side of the tailpiece are much lower the left sides. The reason I ask is because I posted some pics on Mylespaul site and some guy questioned the angle of the bridge. I trust your opinions more than those guys.

deepblue Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Man, do you guys know how to tease! Thats a beautiful guitar. Gibson has really pulled up their socks these past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Does anyone think the bridge angle on my standard is a little extreme? Plays fine. I actually thought the same thing when you first posted your pics, But when I kept looking at it I think the second pic was the culprit it really looked tweaked on that photo when you first look at it but the angle made it hard to tell. On your followup shots it looks more correct and looks like it's straight across your PU grab some measurements across the neck if your worried?

However, there is a very, very slight dark mark on the front (a knot in the wood). I am thinking that as a result Gibson couldn't use it on the higher-end model and used on this standard instead. I thought the same about mine, alright, the flame isn't quite as crazy as yours, but it does have a better flame than a lot of Standards I've seen, AND it has a similar mark as yours. Gibson Customer Service didn't think that our (mutual) theory holds water though, I'm afraid! The cavity codes might reveal otherwise though. Take your PUPs off and have a peak! ...and yes - mine is an '07 Std and has a white case interior also. I prefer it to the pink! As for the angle of your bridge - mine is exactly the same, although I don't have a photo I can link to right now. (Sorry, bad English - "I don't have a photo to which I can link, right now...) ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Good to know that the bridge isn't messed up. I still think our theory is holds water. i will try to take a peak tonight. You can see the slight flaw on mine on the very last photo in the group. I was a little annoyed at first. But the flame of the guitar offsets the flaw.
