A walnut faded SG.

The LP has real old styling so the real old styling 12th fret inlay matches the guitar style. I like it.

I also like the new colours too.
love the new binding colours too. Love the new components also.

I think gibson should have less colour options per model and have a few new radical design models.

I also think Marshall needs some radical new model designs.

I'd like to see Metropolus amps use the Metropolus movie title style name badge on the amp. and go real radical with the amp's design to match the Fritz Lang movie design.

I saw an original Valve and plexi TV made way back when for a world fair in NYC. The valves were huge. It had 10inch rods from the controls to the pots. We have a museum for old TV and film at the moment. they even had the original black car from the Movie MadMax the road warrior.
and real early computer cames.

2014 LP Studio in Desert Burst....

A lot of folks don't like the inlay on the 12th fret, but it doesn't bother me, & seems to be a really good guitar...I like it a lot, & that's all that matters, I really don't care if anyone else likes or doesn't like my gear....:D

I've bought a second hand standard or traditional (I dont know which) that I havent seen yet, loaded with Suhr Doug Aldrich pups.

I dont know what age it is, but two of my friends (ones a luthier, the other collects guitars) have played it and both love it so I took the gamble. This is the only picture I have.

Does this count?

I like it, I have one that's similar.

Yep, just bought a 2013 Les Paul Signature T. After a handful of mods, it'll be perfect.

The last one I purchased was the end of last year. These are the three Gibson electrics I have.

1998 Les Paul Special SL in cinnamon with 490/498 Pickups.
2010 Les Paul Standard Plus in heritage cherry sunburst with bb pros pickups.
2012 Les Paul Junior Special in satin cherry with P90s pickups.

I'm a happy camper with all of them otherwise I would not have purchased them. The 98 Special was my first and, I did not even plug it in until I got it home. The other two I did try out through a Marshall in the store.

JAC, mine looks similar to one of yours. I wish it had of had gloss sides. My sides and back are matte finish. Other than that, the 2013 Studio Gold is perfect for me, LOVE it, and it will be babied. It's in the hardshell case right now. I will play it some at least 2 or 3 times a week, but it always goes right back in case. My PRS guitars are my daily squeezes. I have owned this guitar less than 1 month. But it was bought New. NOS.

Studio Gold:

After 3 returned Gibson Les Pauls, a Studio ‘50s Tribute, a 2012 Traditional Pro and a 2012 Standard, all of which had dead spots, weak notes and wolf tones, I finally bought a perfect-sounding, solid-body (no weight relief or chambering) 2013 Gibson Les Paul Traditional, in Heritage Cherry Sunburst, with ’57 Classic/Plus pickups, and a late ‘50s neck profile, weighing 4.3kg (9.5lb). It was 2000€, got it for 1900€, and it's my only Gibson guitar (see my avatar).

Schenker Flying V - $1100

in light of the crazy price increases and V's hitting close to $2000 for limited edition runs...I decided to get this one in.

I think the Gibson management needs to do some serious soul searching
