SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey guys, after wanting one since LAST christmas, I finally went out and bought my dream guitar- a Gibson Les Paul. Unfortunately, I won't be able to post pics until some time later tonight, so I thought I could copy Tim by playing a game- let's see if you forum people can guess what model I bought. I'll give you a hint: I didn't pay over $5K for it, and yes it is a real Gibson! I would have posted pics last night but I spent about 3 hours playing it and then I had to hit the hay if I wanted any sleep at all. By the way Tim, it's totally your fault I bought this guitar.... stupid GAS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Are you blaming me or thanking me? I can't tell... My guess is it's a R7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanking you Tim, I'm so glad I bought this guitar... and no, it's not a Reissue. There's no way I could afford one at my current income... not for a while, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geyser Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Traditional? Custom? not an Axcess, I hope ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Congrats SRV! Im betting its a heritage cherry standard w/60's slim taper neck? No matter what, if its a Gibson you have a thoroughbred my friend. We need pics asap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 not a traditional, as I still have yet to play one. Deepblue you're a lot closer. I love the standards, just not the new 2008 ones... I tend to shy away from plek'd frets and neutrik jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's not a reissue, you say? Isn't that all I talk about nowadays? Whatever it is, I can guarantee it's a great guitar. Obviously, it's a Les Paul...we know that much. Man, I'm stumped... DB Standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 sorry Tim, perhaps I should specify... it's not a Custom Shop reissue. Not to say it's completely a reissue exactly, but it's not a VOS guitar. forgive me for my lack of internet lingo knowledge, but what does DB stand for?

geyser Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 hmmm, maybe something like that? http://www.gibson.com/en-us/divisions/gibson%20usa/products/lespaul/supreme/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hmmm... Not a Traditional and not a Standard... LP Classic Heritage Sunburst? Conratulations on what ever it is... I bet your like a kid with new Shoes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Desertburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 sorry Tim' date=' perhaps I should specify... it's not a Custom Shop reissue. Not to say it's completely a reissue exactly, but it's not a VOS guitar. forgive me for my lack of internet lingo knowledge, but what does DB stand for?[/quote']Stands for Desertburst. Oh, I know...you got a Silverburst Custom! Alright, you'd better start posting pics soon...or else I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 not a deserburst OR a custom. some more hints perhaps? I only paid $2199 +tax for it, although the list price is $3199. It came with a pickguard factory-installed, and it has the LP signature on the headstock. As far as I know, it was manufactured before August 2008. and as for pics... it'll probably be about another half hour at least. (hopefully sooner, but... you know...)

SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 well guys, I'm leaving my computer to head home, and I just remember I've got to make dinner tonight. hopefully I'll have pics up within an hour... that should give you enough time to guess what I'll be playing non-stop tonight...

Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Good call Fenn, I think it's a Classic too, because of this comment. Not to say it's completely a reissue exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Good call Fenn' date=' I think it's a Classic too, because of this comment.[/quote'] and because the classic was discontinued august/september, it has the PG attached, and they retailed at about 2199.99.

Tim Plains Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 It's not a silverburst, it's not a historic...I don't see how I get the blame. Maybe it's a gold top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geyser Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 we got you, SRV! O:)/ *reissue* but not a Historic, 60's neck, $ 3199 retail price, ... definitely that's a Classic! ... and Cherry Burst, I'd bet ... anyway, congrats! waiting for pictures ...
