Yeah, it does beg the question "why?"...

And what's with the one-piece wrap-around (non-adjustable) tailpiece? Hate those...

Slight Leslie West-vibe on those...

[indeedido]

$4500 seems a little steep for one pickup and two knobs no matter how nice the top is. I just don't get it. If someone doesn't use the neck pickup, set it to zero on the volume and use the toggle as an on/off. Seems like poor marketing.

Didn't West always use a Les Paul Jr.? A couple of years ago he endorsed a one pick up Les Paul-like guitar, but I believe it was made by Dean. And it sure as heck was of better quality than this ghastly thing.

It's surprising how bad that looks

Who is this for?

Billy Gibbons.
he already has a Gold Top LP with one P-100 pickup.

I'd rather have one of these!

I can fix that for ya.

As for the Les Paul. It looks like a cheap toy guitar. Like a Toys R Us beginner pack. Gibson can do better. Why they let this ugly thing out I have no clue.

It's worse than the Pee Wee.

sadaist! nasty fucker!! my eyes are burning!

Never.
Ever.
Do that. Again.

I swear, I don't care how much I have to bribe Sarge or what kinda guitar he needs to ban you - I will have you banned.

DO NOT post that pic never ever...

Now I have to heat fork tangs into the stove to score my corneas permanantly to override this pain.

Hope you are happy.. Sadaist, you're a DICK

But I won't ever post that pic again. Promise.
