Rabs Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ohhh baby :) The only thing I dont like is the baseball bat neck... pretty sweet though http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-60th-Anniversary-Limited.aspx "To accurately recreate the unparalleled look, feel and tone of the early Les Pauls, Gibson USA crafts the Les Paul 60th Anniversary Goldtop’s body from a solid, non-weight-relieved, one-piece Grade-A mahogany blank topped with a solid, carved two-piece maple top." Does this mean that Gibson admit that to create the classic tone of the 50s/60s guitars it has to be a solid body?? :P •Solid Mahogany body with a carved Maple top •Mahogany neck with traditional “thick” profile •Pair of powerful P-90 pickups in the neck and bridge •High-quality "Orange Drop" tone capacitors •Chrome-plated wrapover trapeze tailpiece •Vintage style tuners with cream tulip keys and 14:1 tuning ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This would be my dream guitar...too bad my priority is amplification at the moment. Another one slips through the cracks for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I like it. I don't know what that tailpiece (?) is called, but that makes the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Beach Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 people always complain about the originals being impossible to intonate because of that bridge. That said, I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 . Also, the originals had a bad neck angle and the strings had to wrap under the trapeze. The description text highlights that Gibson made this model with the correct neck angle. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I like it! Reminds me of early Freddie King (even though he played a 54' model with the one-piece wraparound bridge...). Here's a new slogan: "Let's hide away and dance away with the Les Paul 60th Anniversary Limited"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Awesome! Here's an original ($18,500 and it's yours on ebay). why are the strings wrapped under the bridge instead of over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 "Les Paul's design for the trapeze bridge/tail piece called for the strings to wrap over the bridge, and Gibson had the strings go under. Les supposedly complained to Gibson that they got things wrong, but Gibson is reported to have said that it was too late to stop production, and things were to remain as they were."

daveinspain Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Very nice.... Is it just me or is that an exact copy Gibson made, in a limited run, called the Tribute that they put out when Les died... Edit: Just Sayin'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
