@seanfoxie it could, but I doubt this guitar has different electronic parts from other gibsons, although it has a three pickup configuration so obviously its wired differently. so it could be the electronics i suppose.
@Glockenator Thats not true, Phil has played GnR on a bunch of LP videos. And Axl being a prick has literally NOTHING to do with Phil not playing GnR a lot.
orcustrex- If you're offended by Phil X wailing on these guitars and having a good time, please do NOT buy any more Les Pauls. The world doesn't need another stuffedshirt hoarding away the good guitars from players. That is all.
It would be nice if Phil could present the guitar's on this site like a professional and not like someone who has snorted way too much meth on your site. I am a long time collector of vintage Les Paul's and Phil keeps me from contacting you for possible sales.
It's actually the first time a hear a Les paul sounding like a Strat... Impressive. What's the routing on this guitar, BTW ? Three volume knobs and one tone ? One volume and three tones ? 3 pick-ups and 4 knobs are a bit confusing.
@frettedamericana Cool beans. Just bought a 70's El Maya Les Paul copy on Ebay. Any experience of them? I've only read good things, and I got it for a bargain, so I look forward to it!
i would love it if frettedamericana would get one of the old music man evh wolfgangs. I would love to see phil shred on one of those. Maybe if enough people like this they'll get one, so start liking people!
Maple or no maple, it's "old" (as are my 2 lefty LPC's, from '78), therefore, has Mother of Pearl fretboard inlays; Gibson is now subbing "figured acrylic" for the LPC board inlays, but still have the gall to ask 3-4 grand for them! What a farce!!!
