interesting maybe that's why Mick Taylor says he always picks the lightest LP's when choosing.
Just picked one up and it's exactly 9 pounds a little heavier than I expected for a slab body. Went to Gibsons website and didn't see any info on weight relief under specs . Anyone know? Just curious. Thanks
I had a LP special and the P90's weren't reverse wound so I guess the special tribute isn't either? Does anyone know why Gibson doesn't reverse wind the p90's thereby eliminating the hum in the middle position. I just don't understand why it wouldn't' be reverse wound like a Fender tele or strat...

After owning a Les Paul tribute and LP special tribute I thought I'd get an SG and have something light to play, I probably got a bad one? even the finish has visable imperfections and this model overpriced imo for how little you get compared to other Gibson models, no trapezoid inlay and not...

thanks
