Pulled the trigger on a 2012 Standard
After a bit of groveling to my wife, she relented. I ordered it at MF with their 15% off taxman deal, and it should be at my door step in 5 to 8 days.

Nice top.
Saw a whole bunch of cherry's this morning.
Didn't play any, so I didn't hear them, but they look the dog's...

Congrats! So Gibson took the popular features from the Traditional Pro and moved them over to the new Standard?

Congrats! Love that trans black! Does it come with those gold tophats? If it were mine, it'd have black speed knobs.

Re: Pulled the trigger on a 2012 Standard
Thanks, all.

I'm really curious about how the finish on the real article will look. I imagine this finish will have some variation from guitar to guitar and the flames will be darker than the Gibson PR shots.. Exploring the all of the push/pull features should be fun. I'm going to leave the stock knobs on for now.

Quality pics will be forthcoming when the guitar arrives.

Re: Pulled the trigger on a 2012 Standard
Very nice... Is that the pic of the actual guitar you will receive? I'm in the market for one and thought that the pics on musician's friend website were stock photos and not of the individual instrument. That's why I've been watching wildwood guitar site and music zoo. Just wondering..

Doodles,

It's the pic from MF. I don't expect the guitar to match it. It will probably be darker - which is cool with me.

Re: Pulled the trigger on a 2012 Standard
Love that finish. It's my all-time favorite.

My trans-black Custom is currently on the operating table, getting a complete electronics overhaul (I'm even gonna try painting the control cavity with conductive shielding paint).

I've always wanted a trans-black LP. With the features the 2012 offers, I couldn't pass.

HNTBGD!

That's probably going to be my next Les Paul, right there! Looking forward to the NGD thread.
