Does anyone know the specifications of the Quilt Top Les Paul Standards available as guitar cent exclusives?

 

http://platinum.guitarcenter.com/search/view_listing.cfm?prodId=19204

 

It doesnt seem the same as other stadards. Is chambered or weight relieved? 50's/60's neck? etc...

 

I tried asking at guitar center and the rep didnt seem too sure about it.

 

I know this is a really late reply, but I just bought a "Gibson Les Paul Standard Quilt Top Royal Blue" at Guitar Center (WooHoo!) I too was curious about it's specs, so I sent my serial number in to gibson, and got the following response:

And a little more information:

 

Thanks for the reply. The asymmetrical neck profile is different than the 60's Slim Taper. It is designed to be thicker on the bass side(like the 50's profile), and thinner on the treble side(like the 60's), closely outlining the natural form of the hand as it grips the neck. Thanks again!
