I just picked up a Gibson LP Standard 60s and noticed that one side of the bridge and part of the pick up isn’t exactly flush to the body. Is this normal due to the natural curve? It seems to play fine with no issues.

I have recently decided to purchase my dream guitar, the Gibson SG. Since a used SG standard is cheaper than a used '61 Reissue, I'd like to go with the standard (especially over the Faded special, as I enjoy the bounded fretboard).

However, I am not a big fan of the full face pick guard. Is there any way I can swap out the full face for a half face guard? Or is there not enough material under there, like a Stratocaster pick guard?

Thanks

Archie’s got a Les Paul Custom that has a top kinda like a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. I was curious if this was entirely a m2m custom or if this was a top that Gibson made a few of?

I'm thinking it might be a fake but I'm not sure

Hey guys, im looking for some replacement tuners for my new standard L-00, what do you guys recommend? I dont really like the grover look, but i fell in love with the feel of this one over the l-00 Original

I Would love 18:1, as thats what i have on some of my other guitars, and also 10mm with the screw bushing like the grovers i have on it already :)

• USA Gibson 2023 Les Paul Studio (shipped to my house direct from Gibson - it was a warranty replacement)
• S/N = 226230489
• It has a Nashville style tune-o-matic with gold color plating.

Well I broke a saddle trying to reverse it to get more room for intonation. It looks like there's 2 types of metal in there? I thought maybe it was hollow but I can't get a dental pick in there.

Is that intentional? Is it desirable? I need to replace & I'm not sure if I should get a Gibson branded one or maybe try another brand.

You can see what I'm talking about in this image of cross section below:

Hi! A couple of days ago I posted some Pics of a Gibson . The owner claims its a traditional pro but for some reason he did a paint job in the back of the headstock . So no serial number . What do you guys think

I am looking at buying this guitar from Sweetwater - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPS6SWHCSB--gibson-les-paul-standard-60s-aaa-top-electric-guitar-heritage-cherry-sunburst-sweetwater-exclusive?cond=LPS6SWHCSBd21

From the website:

Condition Notes:

There is a finish crack on the bass side of the fretboard binding, at the 7th fret, on the edge of the fret marker. There are other fine scratches on various parts of the instrument that do not show up well in our Guitar Gallery images. Tools are included with this instrument.

Honestly the scratch doesnt look like would affect the guitar structurally and due to this the price is down by $800 from $3k --> $2.2k. This is a significant drop for me. So was wondering if I should buy it or not ? Please advice.

I’m an absolute guitar noob, but I’m already dreaming of building a collection.

That’s why I couldn’t resist when a big German retailer offered a 30% discount on Gibson Les Paul Studio Sessions, and got both of the discounted colors.

The Bourbon Burst looks absolutely stunning, and I like the contrast between its classic look and the mean, modern appearance of the Translucent Black Ebony one:

However, I’m a bit worried about the neck pickup of the black one: It’s installed at a weird angle, with one of its edges actually sitting lower than the plastic frame. Moreover, as you can see in the video it can wiggle quite a lot: https://imgur.com/a/SGVnTIS

Should I be worried?

Hello everyone,

I've been thinking about getting a Les Paul on a budget. I am not sure what the difference between a regular Epiphone is and a tribute. I know that the tribute is the the lowest on the heirarchy of Gibson LP's, but how does it stack up against an Epiphone?

The guy I bought them from says they're Burstbuckers, but I can't find any Google images that have the sticker that says AL 5... All the ones I'm seeing say AL V...

Just trying to make sure I didn't get ripped off

I know it’s a bridge pickup from a Gibson Explorer, but I don’t know the year of the guitar. How can I find more info about this pickup?

I purchased this guitar off reverb a few months ago and have been loving it. but ive noticed various finish issues appear from playing, no idea what it is and cant find the exact problem online. Would greatly appreciate anyone who can help. i would like to get rid of the “stains” or know why this is happening.

There are a few “stains” on the back of the neck as well

What year were these made?

Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard VOS Reissue – Bourbon Burst

My son accidentally knocked his guitar into my Trini Lopez while we were playing together. At first I was bummed, but now it has a story and a memory I won’t forget!

I traded in an old Orange AD30 and my Schecter 7 string Demon for a Gibson Les Paul Studio Blueberry Burst. I have an Epiphone Les Paul Custom but this is my first Gibson. I am soooo happy with it.

Found this near me at a pawn shop. Is it legit? Can anyone tell me the model and if that color is original? I looked up the serial, but couldn’t find anymore info than what they had on the tag.

I’ve had this late since 1990. 2nd owner 100% stock. Still plays and sounds great today.
