Timmy87 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Greetings everyone! I've been wanting a Gibson les paul Studio for sometime now, and next month i'm gonna buy one, I been looking at The silverburst, but I cant find one here in Sweden though, but maybe somewhere in Europe? I checked every store and I cant seem to find it, where can I get one? I'm sorry for my bad english, hope you can help me anyway though //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hej! Sometime they appear on Thomann's website (www.thomann.de), then disappear, then appear again...Send them a mail, maybe they can get You one. Good luck and God Jul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 hi and welcome! I was lucky enough to grab one last April from thomann.de. As btoth76 said, you could send them an email to ask them if they'll bring it again. dv247.com has it listed but out of stock.. you could email them as well. FYI, as of a couple of weeks ago, Gibson.com has the Silverburst Studio model with rosewood fretboard (instead of ebony as it was first introduced in 2009). Not sure if you're interested into the Studio Deluxe Model.. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I saw that too. Gibson making it with rosewood fingerboard now. That means a new run, so they will be available again soon. Although it looked much better with the ebony board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy87 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah soo happy now;D But there is one thing, if i want to try a guitar, wich one can i compare it with? a normal les paul studio Alpine white? //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The Thomann site is very informative. Compare the specs, to see which guitar is similiar. The AW Studio has 50's style neck, the Silverburst has 60's slim tapered. Also the Silverbursts's both pickups are splitable. I do not know any other model that has all specs the same with this one.

Timmy87 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 But is it similar, is the neck thicker on the Silverburst? I have no idea with these 50's and 60's //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 No, the Silverburst's neck is thinner. Check this out: http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/27259-diagram-of-50s-vs-60s-neck-profile/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy87 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Is there any guitar i can feel the neck on? I'm gonna try a Les paul studio couple of weeks //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Look at the link Wild_rose sent to You. The Studio 60 Deluxe has the same neck style, but only the neck pickup is the same (splitable 490)! The bridge pickup will sound different compared to the Silverburst.

Timmy87 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 That looks like the thickness of my own guitar, I will try a les paul studio, and see how it feels. Thanks and really thanks for your help! Have a merry christmas and a happy new year! //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild_Rose Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yeah soo happy now;D But there is one thing, if i want to try a guitar, wich one can i compare it with? a normal les paul studio Alpine white? //Timmy that's fantastic!! I can relate with your excitement, as I've been wanting the Silverbust for over 6 months before I finally got it! Yes, the 60s neck is slimmer to the regular 50s that all the other Studios have. I tried a wine red Studio a while ago and felt different to the Silverburst. What guitar do you currently have? @btoth76 the ebony does looks so much better on the sb...

btoth76 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hello Wild_rose! Yes, the ebony is the best board for any guitar. In the early 90's I had a black Studio, with gold hardware and ebony fingerboard! What a beauty it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy87 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Ok i like slimmer necks as my hands is pretty small, i currently have an acoustic fender sonoran, and a cheap copy of a fender stratocaster, and a home built randy rhoads version with floyd rose and EMG pickup. I've to say that this forum is very pleasant =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 ^I'm a girl, so I don't have very big fingers either (I guess they're normal for a gal but they're definitely not as big as a guy's hands) and I had a Squier Strat before that. The neck is a bit thicker than the Strat but it didn't take too long to get used to it! I love it! Hello Wild_rose! Yes, the ebony is the best board for any guitar. In the early 90's I had a black Studio, with gold hardware and ebony fingerboard! What a beauty it was! I bet! I first saw a wine red Studio w/ ebony fretboard and I was gonna get that one but then I found out that they make them with rosewood now...

btoth76 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello! My opinion is: as far as the fingerboard is concerned, rosewood looks better on natural-finish guitars, like most Standards, Traditionals, Classics. Solid color guitars, like most of the Studios and Customs are better with ebony from aestetical point of view. From quality aspect ebony is far better than the rest. Too bad Gibson more and more sacrifices quality for cost-efficiency. I think they shouldn't bother about the competition, just do things as they are expected from them. If so, their instruments will be expensive, but noone should expect buying a Rolls-Royce for a price of a Ford. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I agree with you 100%! [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy87 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Anything I should think off to check when the guitar finally arrives? I'm so excited now I cant barrely wait for it to come in stock so I can order it! //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 when I got mine, I inspected the body to make sure there are no scratches and the frets for imperfections. Also plugged it into the amp right away to check that everything's working accordingly. Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy87 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 I need a new AMP, What Amp could fit with the guitar? I usually play rock, hardrock. but mostely of all i want good distortion and at the same time good clean, i've been looking at Marshall, but people dont recommend the valve state or the MG models, what is the best choice for me? Combo or topp and stack? i'm gonna use it in my home, but i want to use it in a rehersal studio. Any recommendations? some where around 700-800 dollar I can stretch myself to. //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Rose Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I've heard really good things about Orange Thunder 30C No matter what you do, make sure to try any amp you're interested in out, before buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
