Had to buy one for my 2017.
Bastards. ;-)
Some nice guitars this year, but they still ignore what people want.. e.g. just a simple Les Paul Junior, single and double cut versions, they'd fly off the shelves.
Gibson need to think about putting spoilers on their rear wheel drive Les Pauls
NB. I have had a couple of bottles of red. Plus some Scotch.
cut junior. I'd snap it up immediately
My thoughts are... I'm not over bothered by the weight relief thing. I know it exists to make them gig friendly but I assumed a lot of the overall sound came from the chunk of mahogany with the maple cap.
Aesthetics... sure, they look like Les Paul's but I wasn't too excited about the colours I saw.
The thing that really got me was the coil tapping. I thought it sounded "interesting". But, here's my problem... they sounded *nearly* as nice a strat (due to their weight relieved bodies) and there were some nice tones comings through. But they are tones better achieved with a Strat, imo. I've had a coil tapped LP before and I rarely thought about using it that way tbh.
Best of the bunch? The traditional. Why? Fat neck, sod all weight relief, no coil tapping and a good colour. It's the only Les Paul there that's proud to be a Les Paul.

The price hike is unjustified. Good thing Andertons are doing so well because no matter how many videos the Captain and Chappers make they aren't selling as many Gibbons this year.
Yes they sold 4

It was brilliant. It once burned a Porsche off at some traffic lights. The bloke's face was a picture!
I miss that little car.
LP's having a carved top often photograph as being mismatched.
Although my LP is perfectly symmetrical is doesn't look like that in pics. It depends on the angle of the shot, first one side looks more flamey, then the other.
