Got this in a couple days ago, its my birthday present to myself which is tomorrow. This is basically the same as a Les Paul standard faded with a AAA top and different pickups. The real reason I got this is because it's a AAA flame maple top with a satin finish. Love the satin finishes. I plan on swapping out the Greenybuckers this weekend for a SD custom/jazz neck set and I'm going to put on locking tuners and change the output jack and the jackplate to a nickel one. Here's some pics, will update after I get my mods done.

I usually don't like sunburst LPs but that is stunning.Administrator of the SDUGF -
It has the darkest mahogany I've seen on any Gibson. Compare the mahogany on the 2 standards next to each other in the pics. I really like it and it's pretty light at 8lbs12oz!It's funny how some stories became historic,

I didn't know they had a satin finish.Comment

That is nice. And it’s lighter than my 2009 Trad Pro Les Paul, which is 9 lbs. 2 oz. or thereabouts.Comment

Happy birthday! Nice one! If it were me I'd play it a while before modding (it's good enough for Kirk), but you gotta do you.

I love the top. I love the back. I don't love the color of the top, but I bet it sounds and plays like a dream!
Congrats!!!!!Comment

I like burst Les Pauls and I love a good flame top! Looks beautiful. Excellent choice.
Edit: Your new LP is also a mere 9 oz heavier than my R9. Good job getting a light one!"It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled" - Mark TwainComment

The reason I'm changing the pickups is because of the out of phase middle position. I use the middle position 95% of the time and I can't stand out of phase tones because it cuts out the mids and what I play is all mids!Originally posted by beaubrummels View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

It's actually the other way around, LOL. All it leaves is mids. Hence why it sounds so nasal.Originally posted by Mikelamury View PostComment

Hmm... interesting but it just doesn't work for playing ska/punk.Originally posted by Rex_Rocker View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

Yeah, no. It's cool for some old-people bluesy licks from time to time. But it would indeed get in the way if I were playing rhythm on that position all of the time.Originally posted by Mikelamury View PostLast edited by Rex_Rocker; 11-03-2023, 06:39 PM.Comment
