2012 Les Paul Studio layered “grenadillo”?

[DjPsychic]

I forgot to mention, half way there I realized I had been watching a Soundgarden Pinkpop concert on YouTube the night before. I must be extremely susceptible to brainwashing lol

That's nice! Not sure they had granadillo in 2010 though.

It does say made in USA 2010

I think the seller thought the first 2 digits were year

It is a 2010.......... Rosewood fretboard for sure.

Sometimes you have a model year stamped,... like for example you can have a 2010 Les Paul Standard that will say 2008 Model stamped on the back of the headstock..... Your serial is a 2010.... with a 2010 model year.

No issues with my Lester with g-dillo....

Here you go...link and grab....

Granadillo

Similar in tone to rosewood, granadillo boasts a broad frequency range with clear articulation and a bell-like sparkle that enhances the sustain. Because it tends to be slightly harder and denser than rosewood, the tone can produce a little extra chime.

Here she is, she’s pretty damn cool, needs some TLC.

He said serial came back as 2012 but it’s stamped “2010”. I think It’s slim taper, At least that’s what I read about the 2012, partially why i wanted it.

My first modern LP. I think it’s pretty great

In case you didn't realize, the Silverburst Les Paul Studio is the only model with the "Les Paul Model" Silkscreen on the headstock in silver instead of gold.

This and an SG,..... it seems you're on a roll.......

I did not know this. Thanks. So obvious a little thing, but how cool is that?

Yep! The SG is great. Whatever model it is I love it.

Les Paul plays and sounds great, nothing really special about it except it looks cool as hell.

Glad this worked out well for you! IMO, the iffy part of Gibson's fretboards is the workmanship and degree of smoothing done, more than the material used. There are stretches of time in whick Gibson seems to have cut costs by reducing the amount of handwork invested in working on the fretboard surface. I've seen many EIR boards that are ugly and way rougher than they need to be. Any of these woods can be worked to a wonderful smooth feel, and all sound good (if in slightly different ways). But both ibson and Fender seem to do rushed and slipshod fretboard prep. I guess they don't want to pay human workers to make better guitars.

I agree. Every new Fender I’ve held @ guitar center just has that mass-produced feel, if that makes sense. Even though they are in fact massed produced, they just don’t have that finished quality to them.

That’s why i love used stuff

This 2014 SG is awesome tho,
newest guitar I’ve ever owned lol
