LesBonfire Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hey guys, hope I'm not jumping to conclusions but Sweetwater is showing that the Traditionals are discontinued? Is this new or have I missed something? I heard Gibson is making big changes in 2013, so maybe this is one of those changes? Anybody know about this?

blueslespaultone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Either they're out or they're changing production on them, like different fretboard , or just keeping the trad pros . I really hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I heard rumor they are just re-labeling them "Les Paul Classic" again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm sure if that happens it'll be more than just relabeling. Ie, pickups, neck contour, maple cap grades etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesBonfire Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks guys, it'd be nice to still have the option to have a Les Paul Standard that doesn't have all the gadgets of the new 2012's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yes I agree 100% What year were the traditionals introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2112 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Their product line really needs to be trimmed down and reorganized so it makes sense and is easier to follow. It's too easy for a first time LP buyer to get lost and confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Studios Traditional pro Traditional Standard Custom shop A little research will and does sort that list out. Besides half the fun is searching for the right one. The traditional is a great guitar to keep as a flagship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Moore Tribute Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 What year were the traditionals introduced? 2008 when they introduced the 08 Standard so people could still have the Pre 08 Std Spec Guitar HOWEVER the Traditional has 57's Classic pickups where as a Pre 08 has BB Pro's (Going by the standard models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 2008, stage std specs changed probably the trad will change too, or maybe they'll just keep the trad pro II Considering the standard has gone coil tapping and some if not most studios too for 2012.

blueslespaultone Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Guitarcenter has them now, I believe no pick guard , A nicer flame top I believe are the only changes. But I'm not sure , what I am is that gc has an exclusive Traditional in ebony with Burstbuckers, it does not mention pros. Oh and they are made in 50s and 60s necks now . That's cool Ps in the Gibson site there 60s neck, uncovered AV classic 57/57+ 1960 on the pick guard plain top,hmmm http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-1960.aspx This is the gc trad http://m.guitarcenter.com/In-Store-Platinum-Gibson-Les-Paul-Traditional-Plus--50s-Neck-Iced-Tea-107284697-i2265179.gc And http://m.guitarcenter.com/In-Store-Platinum-GC-Exclusive--Gibson-Les-Paul-Traditional--60s-Neck-w--Push-Pull-Electronics-Ebony-107285082-i2306721.gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
