I’ve been hunting for a Gibson for a few yesrs since I saw and heard Musicians Friend play the ES-339 with Burstbuckers on on, back in 2016…Sadly at that time I could not afford a guitar like that.

Now however I can…After hearing the New Les Paul Standard with burst buckers the sound is ALMOST the same when clean. :slight_smile:

After much hunting I found a Beautiful Bourbon Burst Les Paul Standard 60’s for my little hands and put a reserve on it today.

My 35 year old electric piano gave up the ghost some time ago so, time for a new instrument.

No, brand new just out of box 2 days. I believe this model was launched Jan ish 2021. No push pull pots or pcb’s, no weight reduction.

Omg, it was a Technics PR something, must be 25-30 years old.

Cool, hope you don’t have too wait to long to get your hands on it !

Happy NGD.
Happy indeed.

No weight relief?
Get a wide suede or wide elasticated strap.

And ENJOY the heck out of it.

O, what a great guitar! Enjoy it and looking forward for your recordings with this guitar. I am still choosing between the 50s and 60s model and can’t decide!

That’s a beautiful guitar! Happy NGD!!!
I suggest a wide heavily padded strap to help with the weight.

This is the one I put a reservation on.

I’ve read that a leather strap should be used the removed to preserve the lacquer but I agree a wide slip on pad for a 9lb guitar is a must.

If you’ve not been into a store to feel them in your hands, it’s a must. I’m only just over 5ft and have small hands. Despite preferring the 50s feel the neck really decided it and had to opt for the 60s instead

not for nothing, but the Epi LP’s are just as good for about 1/8 the price, but enjoy
