:32: That finish is gorgeous IMO, its also cheaper than a regular standard! I'll have to try one out in person, sounds like it would ding easy, but if that guitar sounds as good as it looks than I may be sellin mine and buyin one with a 50's neck...mmmmmm. either that or an r7 GT I <3 les pauls!!!!

reminds me of what fender did with their highway series, same guiter, just cheaper finish, and it saves the factory enough money to pass on a lower priced guitar.

I'm interested in the tobacco burst, those honey's look pretty bright.

For $1800? Sorry, not me :yell:

Looks good but, Gibson can keep it for $1800 for a less than top of the line playing guitar. If it were cheaper, I would jump on one in a heartbeat!!!

Re: Interesting new les pauls...

I agree its over priced, just like all new gibsons but how do you know its playability isn't good? You just mean in comparison to another guitar you could get for that kind of money?

The Les Paul Jr.s are the only Gibson's I've even thought about buying. The price is reasonable.
