awel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Should I buy a Les Paul Traditional this afternoon or not? I am a litlle bit scared with what I have read here about the buzz issue due to the ground not connected so I am hesitating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 now, how much sense does it make to base a decision on a 10$ repair you can do yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StijnV Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 There is no production fault with the Lp Traditional, also not with the ground wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-o-steve Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The Les Paul Traditional is an awesome guitar. Just go play one, or a few if they have several in stock. You will know if there is any grounding issues very quickly if you "test drive" the guitar before purchase. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You should test the guitar before you buy it. If it buzzes because the bridge isn't grounded don't buy it. I'm always a bit stunned by all these claims that "I just bought a $4000 Gibson and the nut is crap, the finish is crap, the binding is crap, the electronics are crap and the fret work is crap..." If all that stuff is crap... what the hell did you buy it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Congrats! The top looks great on it. Yes, you do hear about problems with guitars, but most people don't go out of their way to tell about problems they never had! For me I never had any major problems and I love my Les Pauls.

WahKeen Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Congrats pretty guitar - I've had a Traditional Pro for a year or so anl love it, no issues of any kind so far. I'm thinking about a TP Gold top or Wine red to replace one of my to be sold Studios. I like the 60s neck and that BB3. Glad you like yours. Awel, looks like you scored well. Congrats.

Windmills Optional Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Beautiful! I've been saving my pennies for just one of these. Love the 57 PUPs and the 50s neck, and I really dig the Ice Tea finish. Your pics should inspire me to keep saving.Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Let's not confuse the Traditional or Traditional Plus with the Traditional Pro. I have only heard of grounding / electronics issues on the "Pro". I think it would be hard to go wrong with the Traditional or Plus. I will be owning one shortly.
