rons59burst Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I know the spec sheet says 2 piece back, but are these a solid mahogany body with just a 2 piece mahogany back like the 2 piece maple top ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Admin Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 the back is 2-piece mahogany, the top is carved maple, as on a normal goldtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copernic304 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just another question about the 2-piece back: is it center joined, or randomly joined ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolman Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well, they've done it again. Another JB artist model. That makes three and they still can't get it right. http://jbonamassa.com/gibson/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter7Tribut+Batched&utm_content=Newsletter7Tribut+Batched+CID_524eda6ccb5feaee3124a7e3548a5ca4&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20software&utm_term=Gibson%20releases%20Joe%20Bonamassa%20Les%20Paul%20Standard%20Read%20more Even though a big JB fan myself, I won't be in line for one until they get it right. In this video, it does not appear to be the guitar as advertised.The one in the video is a clear mahogany back. MSRP is 6k. Once it hits the streets it may be around 4.2k-4.5k plus your state taxes. This appears to be nothing more than a 2013 model with the black trim and the back painted black, the tone and volume knobs changed and a signature truss rod cover. No JB SD pu's or the real deal neck shape. Not a fan of the 60's slim neck but do like the asymmetrical necks on the 2008 Standard plus models, I have two of them and the Traditional as well and like those neck shapes. I think Gibson and Joe missed it on this one.... or is there something special about this guitar I'm not understanding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
