Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Options

[JVM]

I just got my les paul a little bit ago Very excited. It was on sale minus $100 at my local guitar center so I got it for $850 tax included. Thats a steal. Check it out:


oooh, that's a nice guitar


let's check... yep, its a gibson. made in the usa.


that's a nice wood finish! beautiful!


and it comes with an awesome hardshell CASE!?

What a bargain It plays great, sounds great, looks great. It doesn't have a smooth finish like most guitars, rather it's a matte sealed wood finish. In other words it feels kind of like your computer desk, but a bit smoother. A nice chunk o' wood though. I love this, theres nothing impractical about this guitar. The finish is worn/faded brown mahogany. They also have it in cherry, but I feel this one is far better. The pictures you find on the net generally don't do it justice, this is a beautiful guitar.

I say get yourself one while you can

Man, you did'nt have a cop follow you home? What a steal!
Nice grab!

If my washing machine had'nt took a crap on me today, I had some money put back for the next GC blowout and was going to get me a Pod.

I know you can play that thing the way it's meant to be played man, looking forward to hearing some of your takes with it.

Just to make you ill (how did your hand come out btw?).........

I got my Mahogany for $600. But it was a weird deal. Some outfit had them for sale at that price just a few days. I had Guitar Center price match it. These were actually a Guitar Center/sister company deal. What I figured was that they bought them in bulk somehow at a discount, and were trying to get into the market. But Guitar Center put a stop to it I think after a number of people did the price match.


But to the point, this is a SUPER guitar. Has a very unique sound, gets great pinch harmonics. I also have an expensive Les Paul Standard reissue btw. These Mahogany's really are nice, different from a Maple Les Paul in sound, but still good sustain. Hard to describe the tone. I would guess strong in the mid range and medium high treble range, not as much in the bass. They have been described as having a "woody" sound.


edit: it has the burstbucker pickups, same as on a standard btw. they are modeled after PAF pickups. Really like them.

[Toni Suominen]

That's soooo awesome, I want a Gibson sooo bad, and this just made my GAS for one greater!

Very nice guitar dude

I do too, and I love the way it FEELS!

I have the exact same guitar and I agree. Great feel and tone.
My avatar is a pic of my son with the guitar hehe.

Then you're lucky, but I still think $850 is a great price for this guitar.

So theres three of us who have it eh? Cool

Your right, a good gibson for that price!
