    NGD: Standard 50's Faded Honey Burst

    Looks beautiful. I love the "yellow" tone they're using on this series. You found a nice top.

    Slash LP - Appetite Amber - Pickup Covers?

    That looks freakin' amazing! An improvement (to my eyes)

    2022 Les Paul Standard Faded 50s - Vintage Honeyburst

    Thanks! I'm sorry, I have to add the guard (I had another Les Paul last year with no pickguard, but they look unfinished to me without them. Much like a Stratocaster, the pickguard simply completes the picture and adds such beautiful lines to it.) Please forgive me! Lol

    2022 Les Paul Standard Faded 50s - Vintage Honeyburst

    I agree. The 60s model did nothing for me. That being said, I wasn't even interested in the 50s because any pics I saw looked "meh". I hope I start seeing more examples of figured tops from this line...

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    I think that's the same run as the one I bought...although the specs I read say "exclusive" (100 for Canada, if I'm not mistaken) I think there was a similar run for Sweetwater. (I'm not sure which pickups are in mine?)

    I was told that i shouldn't even take my guitar out to play live.

    I understand both sides...yes, guitars are meant to be played. But ho boy, when it comes to selling them, a practically like-new Les Paul with one "Ding" in the top? People will offer you $1000 less for the ding. I don't know what it is about Les Pauls, but they're a difficult investment as...

    2022 Les Paul Standard Faded 50s - Vintage Honeyburst

    Weighs 10 lbs. Another thing to note, although the 2022 50's faded are not pictured with pickguards (and, on Gibson's site, the specs say: Pickguard - none) inside the Gibson case they do include a pickguard and mounting hardware...

    2022 Les Paul Standard Faded 50s - Vintage Honeyburst

    I know I didn't need another guitar, but it's my dream to have three or four iconic Les Paul finishes (iconic colors, tops, etc). The 2022 Standard Faded series haven't been on my radar because I enjoy a gloss finish, and also I really hadn't seen any pictures that captured me. But this...

    The R9 and the SG are knock-outs! Nice family,

    NGD - 50s Standard - Tobacco Burst - Fed Ex Follies ….

    It looks inviting - a very warm burst and nice, tasteful figuring. You found a beautiful guitar!

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    Actually - not a bad suggestion! If money were no object, I would love that. I do covet the aged nickel hardware, checking, etc... and can look at pictures of old Les Pauls all day. I "might" consider getting some aftermarket nickel brige, tailpiece, and P.U. covers to try and age them...

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    By your description, that's a different guitar. This is a 50s in Iced Tea

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    (someone also asked earlier about the weight, it's 9.8 lbs.) I had some financial challenges during the end of last year because my wife became ill (she is recovering now) so I was only thinking of selling-off gear. I was down to two Les Pauls, but I couldn't say no to this one. The...

    Here's a couple of shots of the rear of the guitar:

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    Very interesting. It's the shipping part that worries me...but yes, maybe I should try MLP? Reverb seems so high-priced to me, and now that they are collecting Provincial Tax (for us Canadians) it immediately sours the sale for me. Don't get me started about taxes! ....ha ha

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    thanks! I typically list my guitars on a local selling site similar to Craigslist. I also sometimes use Facebook Marketplace, but I find I get requests from farther away using FB. (They ask if I'm traveling their way 2 hours away) Perhaps it's the economic climate, but I find people just...

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    I understand, and I can appreciate your needs. - yes, I have heard their weights can vary. It is interesting!

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    They're still out there! At least I assume they are? This one was traded in at my local music store. I wasn't even sure what model/year it was, I just knew it had a color combination I liked. And the maple figuring sure helped too...!

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    I'm not sure? For me, personally, weight does not factor into my buying a guitar - but I'll have to weigh it sometime... (To be honest, I have never, ever heard of weighing guitars until I started reading on forums about Les Pauls.)

    50's Standard AAA Iced Tea - Yum!

    Ha ha. Well, it comes at a cost! I've learned to be careful what you pay (not great resell value), but if you see what you like, just do it. I can't enjoy them when I'm dead! And now, with every post I read (and any pictures I see) I have slowly been working my tastes down to a fine...
