Post a few pictures of yours. I'll start a "wow, doesn't this suck dead donkey dicks?!" thread with 'em.

Looks a lot like one of mine, Mr. Legend. You truly are a legend - in your own mind.

Too much raw maple!

She needs a nice tan for the next 30 plus years! The fretboard inlays look better with a darker MOP.

Im not up to speed on Legends legend, and I really dont give a rats ass to be, but perhaps he was just saying its bright in different words. He never said it sucked. I like you River, Ill let this slide, but watch it young man.

That maple'll darken up, the hardware will age, and the binding will get that golden color and she'll be a beauty

No I cant say I hate this guitar....I just cant believe all the changes in Gibson. I'm just stuck in my old ways when it comes to the looks of my Les Pauls. I own way to many and have spend LOTS of my $$$ to be a hater.

all the changes...are you unaware that this was done on purpose just like it was 35 years ago?

if this is new than the ones in 1975 were down right futuristic


the all Maple concept wasnt a big success but they reel in some bucks now

Yeah, I realise the fretboard is maple, but is the neck maple, or mahogany, like the body?
