That trad is a sex bomb.

This is all i got with Les Pauls. Its the only one that i bonded with and its all wrong ie


2009 Standard
Chambered
Short tenon
Locking faber tailpiece.
Locking tuners

But Wolfetone pickups and it kills......

My Strat, Tele and LP Jr. all get some play time. They are my relievers and get called up from the bullpen whenever a particular song or tuning is better suited to their special talents.


But this 2011 60's Tribute is my starter! It gets the call day in and day out and handles the bulk of the musical duties. My "relievers" can sometimes be a tad finicky, needy or even downright grumpy but my LP is a solid and extremely reliable guitar. A very low maintenance machine. Aside from a few cosmetics (to set it apart from the other 573,492 60's tributes floating around out there) it's had the nut, tom and tail upgraded (this is a "no zamack zone").

My “fancy” Les Paul’s (custom colors, no flame-tops or bursts) are my workhorse Gibson’s.

2002 Les Paul Studio. Now has Duncan Pearly Gates pickups. I've had it for 17 years, and it plays better than the new R0 and Standard 50s I played last month.

Cool to see some of the studios and tributes in here. I know Gibson sells a ton of them but it seems like they're underrepresented on TGP.

And some of those standards and traditionals are lookers!

Anybody else have the railroad (flat top) frets on theirs? My Classic had very flat frets from the factory and I like it quite a bit better after having a level and crowning done a few years ago.
