RotcanX Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well, we just received a pair of Les Paul Standard fadeds, one in tobaccoburst and one in honeyburst... one of them is sold, we just don't know which. Trying to convince the boss to keep the other one too but the plan is that one will go back to the distributor. Sigh. Soooooooooooo nice. Damfino why Gibson discontinued these.

Manimal Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The 60's neck is absolutely discontinued. I've heard that Gibson is still going to make them in the 50's neck still? they are GREAT players. I love the smooth fast finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damfino why Gibson discontinued these. I've seen only 2 of those guitars, since they've been out. Both were really nice, but, I didn't need another LP, at the time (still don't, for that matter). But, Gibson has SO MANY Les Paul models, now...and I see they're introducing ANOTHER one...the "Traditional?!" Why???! What I'd really like to see, is a reduction in Les Paul Models, back to '60's models Melody Maker, Junior, Special, Standard, Custom, etc. Maybe within those...have the high dollar VOS, for the insanely rich and foolish, and the standard production line, for the rest of us. But, equal quality, throughout! Only difference, being, the finish and "Vintage" appointments, on the VOS. They're getting like Fender...trying to make a guitar for every possible economic bracket, and musical taste. Hell, Fender should make "kits" that one can put together, themselves, using quality Fender parts, bodies, necks, the whole schmear! Then their customers could make whatever guitar THEY wanted! OK...end of Rant! ;>b CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotcanX Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Well, $1,500 for a nice light Les Paul with a decent flame top, nickel hardware and Burstbuckers... that's the end of the market I like to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, why are they being discontinued?! Those that "stock" them, seem never to have them very long, or in sufficient quantities...so, it can't be because they aren't selling? Maybe they sell too well, and are killing the "Classic" or "Standard" market? I really don't know....you guys sell them, so maybe you have a better idea? The Faded ones, I've seen are great! But they never seem to be able to keep them "in stock!" So..??? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 It's weird all right. I've been pushing to get one in the store for months now and the first time we tried they were B/O. But these are made in 2008 so it's not like they're old stock or anything. If I could come up with the scratch I'd grab one in a New York minute.

A set of burstbuckers and a decent guitar is really all we want for $1500....that seems doable instead of some of the other "gibson low end guitars"....so to speak.
