kaleb Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A Les Paul from another dimension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Gibson, you've gone to far with the special edition 50s replicas and artist models. Geez, just make a regular Les Paul that we can all like and be done with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Wow, were did you get that from?? Is that an old one or the new one above? However sweet that looks.. I still personally would have an issue buying an "aged" guitar.. Im sure they will have a VOS non aged one too.. But still I just dont get that.. (but thats just my opinion :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, just make a regular Les Paul that we can all like and be done with it.... Ohh, common... have you seen the latest models?.. Mostly Studio type guitars and Juniors.. They make these for collectors and people with too much money... But as I say even if I had the money I doubt id get one of these.. Rather get the custom shop to make one exactly to my spec for the sort of price id imagine these will go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete c Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 most of worn or "relic" guitars i have seen. look more like they where shipped without a box. they cant reproduce the natural worn look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Rabs! You really should ask Santa for "The Beauty of the 'Burst" this coming Yuletide............... ...just make a regular Les Paul that we can all like and be done with it.... I'm not sure I follow your train of thought, kaleb. For a start I'm 100% certain that not all of us look for the same thing in a Les Paul. Gibson, knowing this too, has wisely chosen to offer a wide range of models to cater for pretty much every pocket. I wish there were Studio models available when I was a kid looking to buy my first guitar and I'm equally sure the wealthier players amongst us are happy there are limited edition models such as the 'Pearly Gates', "Jimmy Page #1" and the "Beano" re-issues being made available. Where is there any problem with the line-up currently available? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well... I'm no LP fan as is well known, but I think that given the basic guitar's popularity, it makes excellent sense to have different necks, different degrees of bling, different pups... It does make a bit of difficulty in determining which one might prefer, but... so what? It keeps the market segment talking about a roughly 60-year-old design... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, just make a regular Les Paul that we can all like and be done with it.... In the spirit of avoiding confusion, I declare that from this point forward, we shall refer to all Les Paul models as simply "Les Paul". Any differences such as color, age, weight, neck shape, etc. shall not matter. All shall be "Les Paul". One model for all. Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well, I meant going back to the old nomenclature. Junior, Special, Studio, Deluxe, Standard, Custom. Quality over quantity. Done. These shall remain "Les Pauls". To avoid confusion, rather than have to explain "Special" as being from the 50's, 70's, or 90's, rather than have to explain single or double cut, P-90's or P-100's, faded or gloss, Cherry, TV Yellow, "Cable" yellow or "HD" yellow, long tenen or short tenon, Binding or no binding, TOM bridge or one piece, or WHICH TOM it has (Nashville, ABR-1, retaining wire, etc), fretbaord materiel, or any other variation through the years or WHAT exactly is a Special... "Les Paul" will suffice unless more descriptive detail is desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I never saw a difference between LPs anyways. There are only two in my book; older and newer. My LP is a 94 and I think of her as newer. 2000s is new, early 80s is older and 70s-60s is old. 50s is OLD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if you prefer, just old or new. To aviod confusion, we shall refer to these all simply as "Les Pauls". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
