Looks like I’ve managed to be one of the lucky few (maybe first?) people to snag an early Gibson Les Paul Adam Jones Standard! I haven’t even seen specs released for this guitar.
I imagine they’re pretty close to the custom model. Looks like there is a volute, which I think is a cool addition on a standard run. Also the tuning machine heads look like older Gibson/Schaller tuners, but a quick look at the back of the headstock shows Grovers. I’m fine with that. My best guess based on the photographs is that it doesn’t come with the Adam Jones case, but rather the new “modern” black case.
Also appears to have the modern Gibson large strap buttons as opposed to those era specific ones found on the Custom. Not sure which pickup set will be used here either, since I doubt we will see a neck custom bucker on a regular production run guitar and the bridge pickup doesn’t show the Duncan label (I know this doesn’t mean that it isn’t a Duncan, but I wonder if it’s still a hand wound).
Should be here no later than Wednesday. I’ll report back with an update and what (if any) goodies/case candy to expect.
Thoughts?
