looks real sharp minte, that 335 in satin looks like it should be over here........ being played. ..... by me. hahahahahaha

That's a 67" that I've road-worn over a lot of years.

Picked it up, strummed a few chords, did a few riffs and ended up leaving with this:

2013 Les Paul Studio - Wine red

Mahogany body with Solid Carved Maple top
Mahogany neck with slim, fast ’60s-style profile
Coil-tapped 490R and 498T humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge (will upgrade these)
Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece
TonePros™ vintage style tuners with 14:1 tuning ratio

For it being a weight-relief design, it's sure some heavy. Sustains a loooong ass time, too.

dang, that's a looker, what is it? details?

;-(

I'm really happy with it.

oh, right on, did you gety the mini etune?

what do those pickups sound like in single coil mode? do they twang? is it straty or p-90y?

They didnt have a mini-etune one setup there and this was last one of this color left. But I'm going to see if I can find an after-market one

The coil-tap is not quite straty.. more like a p90 actually, still sounds good though. Hard to tell difference in distortion mode though. It's a pretty hot pickup even in single mode.

I cant get over how good the neck and frets feel on this.

congrats man, i read that link on it you provided and i am some what familiar with the model, it sounds like a fantastic guitar.

i think it looks fucking far out with the pickguard too eh.

Honestly, I dont think I ever played anything like this in my life... damn

open chords ring out for like 2 minutes haha

Thanks, im really enjoying it.

Yeah, it's one sekzy beast! Gold hardware on this would look so effin awesome, too.

Still lovin this,, but I finally put it down. Breaking in new blisters lol

Whoever did the setup on this didn't stretch the strings or wind them enough around the tuner pegs, though. Some hard to keep in tune. Dummy me, forgot to pick up a set of 11's on my way out of the shop. So will have to wait a few days to fix it.

Did I already mention how incredible the sustain is on this darn beast? Honestly, I let an open D chord (tuned to dropped-D) and typed a small convo with someone with my free hand and then realized, shit.. it's still going... Maybe its the slight feedback pushing it.. dunno.. but damn.. No double-strumming on long-assed chord rings for this fella anymore..

SO not used to playing a real LP. Haha

Where's the ones with the air guitars?

I have one, it's on the other side of my stand tree.

well, crud, i just finagled a deal for a 2013 gibson les paul 60s tribute gold top for $799.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........debating... ...................it has the bb 1 & 2 though, not the '57 classics

http://www.rockpalace.com/gfx_produc...p-Darkback.jpg

Some nice looking LP's! Hope you enjoy them.

The BBs do sound very nice, too, though. You could always swap out pickups later

My best advice to you man, go into a store and try some. There still should be some big sales on as Gibson has instructed many stores to do sales on tribute and studio models.

A lot of people knock the quality of Gibsons in this price range but I just have a few spots that should have had more care put into them and needed extra sanding but it's negligible. I'd pick the Gibby over the EPI any day

i haven't pulled the trigger yet. gonna hold out to see if there's a cyber monday deal.

I have bought from all these places. No bad experiences with any of them.

appreciated! i am going through these now, the prob is the gibson i want is discontinued already and they released it in 2013! i can't figure out their strategy, at the lower end anyway.

the dang guitar center in hollywood doesn't have the tribute in stock! dang.

Upcoming Deal
Gibson Les Paul 60's Tribute Guitar Gold top dark back
Deal starts at
7:00 AM in
13h 44m 22

They are probably releasing 2014 models before christmas. My guitar was last one for it's location.

Lot of consumer good go that way (releasing before the calendar year actually starts)

and that one is with the burst buckers? Did they list a price? be quick to check it when the deal is live, they might only have 2-3 in stock (lotta places running low on lower priced gibsons)

was snooping this earlier.

http://www2.gibson.com/Gibson-USA-2014.aspx#Lineup, sweetwater has the new ones listed, a lot of them, but no pics.

ye, the burstbuckers, which i am actually looking forward to, i've been doing some online comparisons between them and the '57s and i'm liking what i'm hearing/reading. i'll give a good whirl here though.

yeah, it says the deal goes live at 7am, not sure where that 7am is though! hah. i'm an early riser mostly so i should be able to time it right.

Interesting, the price point mine was geared for was 1399,, now theyhave a pro model upcomming at that price point.

Id be curious to know if the pro brings more guitar or they just lowered the bar for pro name

The more I compare, too. The more I like the bursts as opposed to the 57-59 setup. It's just got much more clarity and more brilliance to it, which would be welcoming. The stock pickups in this one are kind of "blah" on cleans.. I'd lose the coil-tap ability, though, unless I can find 3-wire pickup versions of the BBs

There was a comparison of 57 vs bb vs something else I found recently on youtube. Was some $30 pickup. The $30 pickup sounded better on overdrive but only beat the 57 on cleans (IMO, that is).

Not sure if this was asked yet, but is #4 Angel Dark?

Glad you went with the Strat. Since you have a pretty big collection of guitars (and still growing), have you considered some of the more exotic, boutique ones yet? I don't know your inventory so I figured I'd ask anyway. Check out some of AtelierZ basses and guitars from Japan. Solid stuff!

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

got the cyber monday deal! massive score, 2013 gibson les paul 60s tribute gold top for $649.99!!!!!!!!!!!

that's only $125 more than what i was going to pay for the epiphone les paul i had on order! :):):)

That's an incredible price! It doesn't say Gibsun on the head does it? :winkwink:

hhaha, mAN I hope not, lolz. although when i called themusiczoo to see if they price match(this was yesterday), they would not match the $813 price even- he said amazon is not an authorized gibson dealer so i should beware!

I am a fan of Japanese made guitars. 3 of these are Ibanez and I would consider the JEM 7V the best player I own. All of the Ibanez guitars I've played have been extremely well designed and built. The Jackson soloist I believe is from Japan. The Roswell came out of their custon shop.

very funkified!


i'm guessing the reason you have not posted pics of your entire collection in 1 photo is due to not have a wide angle lens and not being able to step back far enough to get them all in one shot?

:1orglaugh

That, and I was too busy over the weekend to get them all out of the cases. I have 14 of them hanging on a wall, 7 more on a new stand and a few more on single stands. The remaining 7 are in cases.

:thumbsup

minte- what's the skinny on the honey blonde strat? i noticed it has the 70s size larger headstock...

That's an Antique White Yngwie strat. Fully scalloped neck.

gotcvha. i thought the one at the ohter end was the antique white, the strat i have looks identical to your yngwie but is called honey blonde. what's the name of the color of the one at the other end of the photo?

just got this email from music zoo,,,2014 pics are online now

http://www.themusiczoo.com/cgi-bin/c...%20Stock%20Now

i can't figure out wtf they are doing with their product line. the weirdest part for me is when you find a body you can afford and like, you have to go with whichever pickups it comes with, which is a big deal for me. '57s, burstbuckers, burstbucker pros, 480r/t, those new(?) zebra coils.......i know zebra coil style is not new but calling a humbucker a zebra coil doesn't really mean much either/

the standard lp comes with bb pros. those are close to the bottom for me on pickups i am interested in.

Awesome! Congrats.

You can't beat that price!

Can you link us the product url just to be sure?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ADWUF78/..._26725410_item

I see mine has been updated with a 57 in neck and bb in bridge. Interesting. The LPJ has been upgraded to include min-e-tune, as well. Interesting.

"Ships from and sold by Amazon.com"

I think you're ok. Should be legit.

Also, appears Amazon IS an authorized Gibson dealer. So Themusiczoo is pulling wool over your eyes heh
