2008 model Les pauls?

[BloodRose]

Anyone have opinions of the 2008 les pauls? Assymetrical neck, Bursbucker pros, tone pros bridge and tail, neutric jack.. I am really leary of the circuit board they use for the electronics, but I like the grover locking keys, tone pros hardware.

What are your thoughts?

I actually like the BBPros in a LP.

I don't have one, but do also like the feel of the asymetrical neck.

i "built" a 2009 faded studio a few months ago. granted, i put seth lovers in it, gotoh bridge/tailpiece, grover deluxe tuners. so i never played it with the BB's and factory hardware. i love how the chambered body sounded, and the neck felt great though.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's special about 2008?

Nothing.

LP's got a lot of specification changes that year. Some might like it, some may not.

Did they revert in 2009, or is it a question of 2008 and LATER instruments?

FWIW, I lovelovelovelove my 2011. But BloodRose knows that already.

the guitar in question is a 2011 guitar.. They call them 2008 cuz that is when they came out with this model with the Assym neck, neutric jack, tonepros bridge, etc.. They have a Standard traditional and the 2008 standard which has the features I listed. and the circuitboard. There is a standard traditional which has a 50s neck.

Re: 2008 model Les pauls?

the circuit board is way easy to take out, and it's totally worth it to do so. I mean, 300K pots on a gibson bridge humbucker is one thing. On the neck is another thing. What the hell kind of brighter-than-bright amps are they R&Ding these guitars with at gibson? It it an underbiased AC30 with eminence screamin eagles, where someone has permanently disabled the tone cut control and set the treble on full?

I figure it wont be too hard, just a pain. Especially if the jack is wired to it and all. having to totally rewire a new guitar sux..
