I think I may have to go with one of these until I can find a SG Jr. I just need to find out how much they weigh.

That's hot for sure. It needs a bound neck though.

You can find those all over ebay. I look at them and the dc specials all of the time. There's not many in white though.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

I like the color. I don't know why, but to me Gibson's just don't look right with dot inlays and non-bound fretboards. I know that's illogical and silly, but I can't get past it.

It's a beautiful guitar though.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

Nice guitar. Why don't more single coil fans get one of these instead of a Strat?
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

Because they don't sound the same and are quite different guitars.

Different, yes, and that's a good thing. It's easier to get good tones from P-90's. Many beginners have Strat copies of some sort: why not more LP Specials? Great rock and roll guitars. No frills, no ornamentation, no need to pamper them. They should be everywhere.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

Man, those things are sexy as ****. I can't even decide which colour I like the best. Probably yellow...but that white one has a certain twinkle in it's eye...

Not that it matters anyway, since I'm young, dumb, lefty and broke. :friday:
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

I like it. A lot.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

I've always wanted a Special single cut, but I would like to get one of the 90's models with the pearl logo and bound fretboard. I like the wine red as much as the TV yellow. Both look damned classy.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

I think I will buy one and put an EMG 81 in it, than it will be the epitomy of teh Les Paul........

Wow, I didn't even notice last night that this was a bumped up older thread. For a second there, I thought Jeff_H was back.

Yeah, I bumped it because the price on them dropped $500.
 
Re: Gibson Les Paul Special Single Cutaway

IMO, if the OP bought a Les Paul Special, he would no longer be looking for an SG Junior.
