canon_mutant Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 These pics do NOT do this guitar justice. It looks way better in person. Sadly, they are special order only so I have to wait 10 weeks. And there's that whole buying unplayed risk but the dealer will send it back if I don't like it for any reason. Been wanting a LP I am not afraid to leave the house with, unlike my R9. This should do nicely and only $1865 + tax. A real brick but that's a good thing to me. These tend to come in around 10 lbs.

69 Son Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Congtrats... I've seen some pictures of some flame with that color and they are KILLER! So you saw one in person that wasn't for sale? 10 weeks ain't nuthin' though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Congrats! I always loved red Les Pauls, which is why my first one was red. Can't wait to see more pictures once you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 So you saw one in person that wasn't for sale? It was already sold. Couldn't even pick it up. But I've played enough Traditionals to know [for me anyway] it's the next best thing to a Reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivxxlxxxv Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Great guitar! Good luck with it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks, mid-April before I see it. But the main reason I posted was I didn't even know these were available in Wine Red or through special order either. Thought special order only came out of the Custom side of the business. That's really what I wanted to share in case others weren't aware of it either. Traditionals are great guitars and getting one in a non-standard color is kinda cool too. Plus, like I said, these pics don't do it justice. That wine red color with the plus flame top is really gorgeous. waiting patiently . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Waiting is the hardest part. Fortunately I only had to wait for one guitar, my PRS, but it drove me nuts. I starred at pictures of the make/model of my guitar everyday until I was blue on the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BentonC Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 That is an awesome back! Too bad no one will be able to see it when you're playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nice. Love the back too. Good luck and don't stare at pictures too much for the next 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nice. Love the back too. Good luck and don't stare at pictures too much for the next 10 weeks. Sadly, my guitar back may not be that gorgeous but the front could be more so. These were just pics off of Wildwood. Don't know what mine will look like until it gets here. But that's part of the fun . . . anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupify Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 If you don't mind me asking, where did you order it from? I'm very much interested in purchasing another Les Paul (right now I have a Vintage Mohagony Studio) and really want one in wine red with pickup covers. It reminds me of my father's 76 Les Paul Standard in that color. I was told that GC had the Traditional Pro in wine red, but I want covered pickups. Thanks in advance!

canon_mutant Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 You should be able to order one from any authorized Gibson dealer. BTW, this is a Traditional Plus, not a Traditional Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the dealer you're getting it from can't snap a few digital pictures and send them to you. I asked for some when I ordered mine in 2007 from First Quality Music and they sent me about 30 pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I guess I wasn't clear. Mine is on order. Gibson is making a batch that should be complete in another 8 weeks. Mine will just be one of that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Am I the only one to find that back hideous? Beatuful colour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB72 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Very nice. I have an Iced Tea Trade Pro + and absolutely worship the fcker. Seeing that red flame on yours almost makes me jealous. Enjoy sir. The weight relief rather than chambered and the 57 Classic+ are a great combo. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupify Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can anyone from Gibson verify the availability of the Les Paul Traditional in Wine Red? Guitar Center was clueless (go figure?!) and kept trying to sell me a Traditional Pro. I contacted Sweetwater Music and they had heard nothing also. I'd very much love to pull the trigger on a new Les Paul, and one in Wine Red would only make it sweeter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupify Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Finally got the response from Sweetwater and put the order in! Now it's just a waiting game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
