Have just bought a Canadian market limited run 2011 Faded so hopefully that will get close. And there’s an 07 on Gumtree if my Nash sells...
I've read that the Canadian ones came with a case with a maple leaf sticker on it, and mine didn't. So perhaps Gibson did make those extra ones, or mine didn't come with its real original case (bought it 2nd hand).
Same pickups
Same lightweight Fijian Mahogany body
Same fingerboard
Same celluloid inlays
etc.....etc......
A good strategy to get a great Historic Les Paul would be to visit Peach or Coda and play every R7 and R8 in the shop.
Neck shape may be slightly different.
Maple cap may be prettier - subject to your. taste

You just gotta dig the unfigured natural top and the slightly wacky pickup combo...
You just can't beat the old 'uns.
The Murphy won.....but because it was mine, it would, wouldn't it? Hee hee
So theoretically aside form a 57 LPJ, What do you reckon is best?
"Best" is a little too subjective, I like the Specials, with original p90's. A lot of vintage guitar for the money.
Try and play as many as you can, eventually one will want to come home with you.
I actually own this Nicky now.
@ourmaninthenorth 's comments are interesting, as it just goes to show how subjective these things are. I've had lots of historics, including an aged Page #1, and an aged CC #1. This is one of the few that I've kept, and I prefer it to the vast majority that have gone before it. Coincidentally, the only LP that I've played which I prefer, is my 40th Anniversary Murphy. That is the best guitar I've ever had, but this Nicky certainly is the equal of any other recently built LP I've ever had, including the aforementioned Page and Moore.
