Faded Les Paul Standard

http://www.gibson.com/Products/Gibs...ctric Guitars/LesPaul/Standards/Standard (1)/Reviewed in Guitarist magazine last month I believe. They had some comments on the finish which weren't exactly positive. I think there is one in SL BB. Not fond of it myself and I think the top will get dirty in the same way that a Peavey Wolfgang neck will, Ugh.

No they are not. Just like every extremely successful big guitar maker, having the consistency they first had in the 50s is just not possible now. Gibson is no longer just a guitar company.

Gibson STILL does have awesome playing guitars, you just need to get a hold of the right one, one day.

 

[Dime]

other than that aspect.you'll need lots of luck to find that kinda guitar that sits into your palm nicely.

just het a jap lp.saves lots of cash.but a gibson can fetch you more in the future when its like an antique.

actually, in the 50s they werent that consistent either.
its just that with higher production now, more tend to see the inconsistencies.

back then they only made like 500-1000 models per yr, compared to 1000 per month now.

the LP Special Faded Edn (flat top) has a great gloss-free finish
