GibSinCity Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 OK Here's one. Who has one, or who knows something about this model. The description for it: "Gibson XR2. Flat top, 2 Factory Mini Humbuckers. 1 piece Flame Maple top. Factory coil tap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Other than no neck binding, the guitar is pretty much everything you listed. Nothing particularity special. The neck may be one piece, meaning no laminated wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hello GibSinCity! The XR-2 Les Paul was the predecessor to the Studio model which saw light in 1983. It's new to me that it came with minis tough! Most came with Dirty Fingers. By the way the great Steve Clark used to play one in early eighties. I really appreciate that You posted this instrument since today is the sad anniversary of His passing. He left us 21 years ago. God Bless Him! Cheers...

BobB Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 The Les Paul XR-2 was available between 1981 to 1982. It was offered with either Super Humbucking pick-ups or Mini humbucking pick-ups. There was also an XR-1 model that came with dirty Fingers pick-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great intruments, would be nice to see something in the price-range of Studios with minis these days! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd_artist Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 so,would a tapped minihum sound like a P90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Very Nice! I've never seen one here in the UK. Gorgeous finish and the mini-buckers suit that guitar to a T. Sort-of a bound body '55-'58 Special. I Like It! BTW according to Tony Bacon's book there was also a third version available in '82 known (unsurprisingly) as the LP XR-III which seems to have been available in red-finish only. P.
