WTF Gibson?? Single pickup Les Paul??

[indeedido]

Undoubtedly the ugliest thing I've seen in a while. Any why?? Who is this for? :barf:

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

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

[Coyote]

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.

[Seshmeister]

It's surprising how bad that looks

[Cato]

Who is this for? :barf:


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

[Diamondjimi]

I'd rather have one of these!

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.

It's a budget guitar that probably sells for $3,000 because it came from the custom shop.

Ace stuck some fucking lights on his.

I can understand the concept behind configuring this thing: fans of the Les Paul Jr. who want the fancy top added are the market here for this thing.

Probably has a nice, stinging bite with only half the magnetic draw off the strings.. and more resonance with the lone stud bridge. But I'd expect they issue it with a P90 - not having that is a mistake!

If they did a 24 fret 2010 Flying V Custom this way I couldn't afford it, but I'd like to try it.

Gibson totally fell off starting when they offered this turd: http://www.premierguitar.com/Stream/StreamImage.aspx?Image_ID=CC21FBAA-3965-4B52-891C-6BAC47AFF4FD&Image_Type=image

I can't believe they ever released that!

You guys must have missed this little gem, also courtesy of our friends at Gibson...

The Les Paul has been a PIECE OF SHIT for the last 10 years !!! My 84 studio is a better guitar that almost any new Gibson. The quality of the hardware is laughable on some of them. This thing is horrible looking.

Well, after all they DID buy the Baldwin name. And Baldwins have an excellent and deserved reputation in the piano market..

Gibson is coasting on it's name. I've seen some horrid fret work on some of the new Les Pauls. When you are paying Gibson prices they should at least dress the frets properly.

I pretty much avoid buying brand names anymore. If I like it, I buy it regardless of what corporate logo is on it. Levis aren't Levis anymore. They are Chinese knockoffs of what used to be made in California. When the companies themselves got involved in counterfitting their own goods, fuck paying the premium price.

That they do. They are mass produced unlike a Steinway but they are consistant and well made. Unlike Yamaha, Baldwin uses the traditional wood actuators instead of plastic. They are real pianos, MADE IN USA for a reasonably price.

[Nitro Express]

I would say Baldwin is probably the best deal in a piano. Even Bossendorfer German pianos are made in south Africa now.

I missed that LP......

BRUTAL!!!

The last new LP I liked was the Gary Moore model.....................

I've had the luxury of playing one. They look really nice and they sound killer too, especially for the price.
