iansmitchell Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Neck pickup: 490R Bridge pickup: 498T What. the. ****. Pickup and wood-wise, you're just buying a les paul studio!!! Ebony boards weren't around in the 50's, either... If I was buying a gibson custom shop, it'd be either: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Shop-57-Custom-Les-Paul-Black-Beauty-Electric-Guitar?sku=517464 or http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Shop-50th-Anniversary-Flying-V-Electric-Guitar?sku=515893 I can get the epiphone equivalent of the first for 4000 less and the second for 8000 less. I can get the same pickups, hardware, all GIBSON branded, and still be 3500 and 7500 bucks better... Geez, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloyDZeD Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 ^ I've heard they used ebony fretboards on Les Paul Customs every since they introduced them in 1954. And I'd rather have one of these over that overpriced Goldtop. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Shop-1959-Les-Paul-Standard-Electric-Guitar?sku=517833 It's still overpriced, but I'd rather have it.

Just Strum Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm not an LP guy, but that is one sweet guitar. Today is the 2nd anniversary of my heart attack, do you think I could get Gibson to send me one to commemorate the occasion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JefferySmith Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's a bit garish for me. Along the lines of Liberace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Killmore Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Oh' date=' I feel dumb. Wanna explain? My ZING! fell under the wrong post. I was almost certain that the LP Customs of the 50's had ebony fretboards. Someone with more knowledge can chime in any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 A guy that works in the local music store bought one of those, didn't like it and lost $1100 re-selling it. At least that is the story that he tells. but, he's an Ibanez shredder type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkwire Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I don't like it...TOO much bling. The gold hardware is over the top. I like the contrasting mahogany neck and body on the regular Gold Tops as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderstruck507 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Bleh... I'm not a huge fan of regular goldtops anyway, but that one looks like something a rapper would hang on the wall just to say he had one too much bling for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I agree about the money - but what are your thoughts on the looks? Um...overkill immediately comes to mind...WAY to much gold on that guitar, I didn't even bother to look at the price, I wouldn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
