Canadian_Charlie 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 I've always wanted a Gibson Les Paul ever since I started playing when I was 14 back in 1979 and yesterday I ordered one. I'm getting one for my 48th Birthday in a few weeks time, a gift from me to myself. Its a Les Paul Studio in a Fireburst finish, plus I also ordered 2 sets of DiMarzio Super Distortion pick ups for it. I really wanted a Standard but they are a bit more expensive so went for the Studio. I'll post picks when it arrives next week. This is my third Les Paul, my first being a Granada Les Paul (by Aria) that I got in 79 and my Epiphone which I got 4 years ago Glad to be here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btoth76 336 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Welcome Charlie! That Fireburst model is one of the nicest LPs available. Never mind it's "just" a Studio - just as good as a Standard. It's body is without binding - purely an aestetical difference. Cheers... Bence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cus2310 3 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah the Fireburst is beautiful and I really wanted one but at just under £1000 it is out of my price range for now. Maybe for my 48th b/day in a couple of years time I will induldge myself Anyway I just poked my toe in to the Gibson waters with this lovely Satin Studio Worn brown with a lovely looking cap on it for £400 so I am happy. I collect her tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btoth76 336 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Wow! Nice top! Lovely guitar! Wish it was still made with mahogany cap. I'm in lust with the LP Traditional Mahogany Satin Brown, but I don't have money for it right now. This could be great substitute for it. Nice wood, great pickups, excellent value. Congratulations! Cheers... Bence Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
