apologies- the correct list price for the current Les Paul Std is $6K double cut version is $5K.

current batch of LP Stds are post-2002. proof: Burst Bucker pickups. 60s neck option available...

hey bro, a few queries abt the Gibsons that will be on sale:

1) are there any Standard Fadeds (Tobacco burst, i hope)?
2) what colors do they have for the double cuts?
3) any Desert Burst for the standard?

thanks

*Faded LP- only one left, the one @ BB showroom (50s neck)
*double cuts- all burst finishes: light/ desert/ honey
*Std finishes: desert burst/ honey burst/ wine red/ gecko/ goldtop (50s neck)/ root beer (50s neck)

DarknessFury,

i have a set of p94s in my Les Paul Classic. Tonewise, they DO NOT sound exactly like p90s. Similar but not exactly. You get more bite and top end than humbuckers with the p94s. But if you compare to say p90s in a Junior or special, the maple top of the Classic does affect.

If you realllly so anal abt the p90 tone then get one that has p90s in the first place. And dun get the p100s they sound nothign like p90s at all.

and im guessing you wanan sound like greenday, do note u need a marshall.

 

[DarknessFury]

Hey ciel, thanks for telling about the P94 and yea...I wanna sound close to Green Day...not totally like 'em but close......I have a Marshall MG15CDR but obviously that won't bring me anywhere close...maybe something with a head and cab will help...

 

[ciel]

bestest old marshall combos are the jcm800/900 combos. need 2nd hand though dun make anymore.

[neuro182]

neuro care to say why you scared of epiphones? thx..

cuz mine got lotsa problems.. the hooks came off after awhile.. the pickups got quite a fair share of feedback (not sure if it shud be the case for their humbuckers) etc.

i would rather save up for an ibanez gio or squier anyday.
