  • New guitar day!!! Had to have it. Gibson 50's Goldtop

    I found myself in Sam Ash holding the new 50's Les Paul and I knew it had to be mine. I just love it. So, gone is my 2012 Les Paul Standard. The 2012 was a great guitar but this is just a better fit for me. The fat neck feels like it was made for my hands. No push/ pull knobs that never got touched, no circuit board making pickup swaps a headache. No weight relief chambers, this is a heavy mutha. I cant pull a bad tone out of it. I dont want to put it down. I know this is a Seymour Duncan forum but I dont even see myself swapping the pickups. The Burstbuckers sound great in this guitar.Click image for larger version

            That thing is beautiful! Congratulations.

            Funny you mention the push-pulls for splitting.
            I've always thought of them as a plus, then proceed to never ever use them.

            My Epi LP with both pickups split in the middle does have a beautiful clean sound... that I never use.

                  ROCK ON!!!!

                  When the guitar speaks to you - listen and have no regrets.

                  Didn't buy that from Danny in Clearwater, did you?

                    That's identical to the first guitar I ever played -flood of memories just came back.

                            Congratulations, that’s sweet. I like the bigger necks also. I have a 50’s Tribute Gold Top that was as close to your guitar that I can afford. Enjoy, you got a keeper!
