PoorMan · 03-14-2008, 01:07 PM

What are the improvements?

Kickstand · 03-14-2008, 01:19 PM

Tone pros hardware, long neck tenon, better electronics.

BobbyK · 03-14-2008, 07:07 PM

Gibson Press Release

diceman · 03-14-2008, 07:34 PM

still doesn't work. Edit: Now it works!

That would be badass... Talk about hurting the resale value of almost all of the USA models out there!!

nemo87 · 03-14-2008, 07:36 PM

that sounds ace..!! i wonder if the long neck tennon will count with the classics too..??

also.. a SG Robot Guitar..!!! ooooh..!

this sounds pretty cool too

"The new Gibson Les Paul Traditional guitar will highlight the exhibit and features a weight relieved, non-chambered body with a 70s-80s era small neck tenon. Other features include Vintage Style tuning keys and 57 Classic Plus Bridge pick up and 57 Classic neck pickup"

diceman · 03-14-2008, 07:39 PM

"Gibson USA will also highlight the new Gibson Les Paul Standard ’08 featuring new neck tenon design, chambered body, upgraded electronics, Tone Pros locking bridge and tailpiece and Burstbucker Pro Pickups."

Says "new" neck tenon - will it be long?

nemo87 · 03-14-2008, 07:40 PM

i cant imagine it getting any shorter..??

can it..?

diceman · 03-14-2008, 07:46 PM

It could still get quite a bit longer without being a true "long tenon," though...

stryker59 · 03-14-2008, 07:47 PM

did anyone notice that there is a "traditional" offering to be available as well?weight-relieved (non chambered)short tenon lp's. now all the people who were not happy about the chambering has the choice!
now heres the catch! chambered lp w/ long neck tenon or non chambered with short neck tenon! this should be interesting!lolololol i go w/ chambered!

diceman · 03-14-2008, 07:48 PM

Non chambered with a long tenon would be a novel idea, huh? All the right moves, in the wrong combinations...

nemo87 · 03-14-2008, 08:03 PM

what make the most difference in sound..?

chamberd body or long neck tennon..??

Axeman16 · 03-14-2008, 09:39 PM

chambered body. i doubt it'll be a long tenon. maybe a medium tenon that comes up to the end on the fretboard.

Mikeeeeh · 03-14-2008, 09:50 PM

Its great to see the option chambered body or non-chambered body... bout freaking time!

nemo87 · 03-14-2008, 09:57 PM

hrmm.. price bump on the non-chamberd bodies i wonder..??

using more wood after all

Not saying I'd pay $4,000 an hour... but she's better than that hooker that Spitzer was paying for!!

I'd go $4k for both, though!

LoKi · 03-15-2008, 02:14 AM

I have a feeling this is going to be the best year for Gibson USA in history.

HAHA! I think not, I think its more like the most confusing year of Gibson history. The compamny REALLY needs to work out their marketing and product line instead of spending time suing Guitar Hero. The information is so disorganised and everyone is guessing about everything!!!

phillyred79 · 03-15-2008, 11:36 AM

Don't get me wrong, she's not bad on the eyes, but.. Broads like her are a dime a dozen on Friday nights.. I would say the guitar is more interesting!
