Did you notice differences between the various trad you own (except the color of course..)
Are the necks different? do they all weight the same?

I've had three now with weights all over the place. The last GT I had must have been > 11 lbs because when I got my HB it felt really light in comparison and it's verified at 9.45 lbs.

Re: the official Les Paul Traditional love thread
Hey guys!

So tomorrow is THE day. I'm going to a store here in Sweden to try out a bunch of LP Traditionals. Hopefully I will take one of them home. I talked to the store today and they have 1 HCS, 1 Honey burst, 1 gold top, 2 black as well as a couple of Standards. I'm pretty much set on a Traditional but it can be useful to try a Standard for comparison. Do you guys have any tips for trying them, anything special I should look for?

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Mike

My HC is heavier than the other two. My newest DB might be the lightest of the 3, but not by much next to the GT. Hard to say on the necks...I'll have to play them back to back and really pay attention to it. There are slight differences to the feel of each. This newest DB seems to be the best player...not to say the others are bad, its just really really smooth.

They sound different for sure. I can't comment with the DB yet as I only had it plugged in once and still have the stock pups. But when trying the same pups back and forth between the GT and HC I can tell you the HC has a deeper tone with a little more growl.

Amazing! I can't notice the finish, though.
Is it an iced tea?

Just to confuse you more, I found I had an nearly identical pic of my HB. I think both look great.

If I was to buy a second les paul it would have to be the same.

Dude, apologies for robbing your idea but I was looking to replace the knobs already. Yours looks totally VOS with the wrap around tailpiece Just getting the knobs and selector.



Why can't I find a blank truss rod cover in stock anywhere?

I LOVE my Traditional. I just put in a set of custom hand wound PAFs from a company called WCR, and now this baby really sings. I absolutely love the neck profile. I am hesitant to leave for college because i know i have to leave this baby behind.

I've got another picture in my album if you want to check that out. I'll have to take some more tomorrow for you. As far as HB or LB debate I was between the same. To me in person the honeyburst looked too much like honey while the light burst looked more like a light cherry burst to me. Obviously the honey burst will look like honey but I think the honeyburst looks very different in person then what it looks like online.
