Any thoughts?

If everything is true what they say I would consider buying it. Of course I would have to try it first. Floyd Rose and Les Paul is good combination if done properly.

Holy crap, that's the coolest thing I saw all day! Fr on a Paul? Yes please

Looks cool, but I don't want a floyd rose on my Les Paul biggrin.gif

Looks like an awesome guitar, being a custom I guess it will be quite pricey too.

I've seen previous LPs with FLs and didn't like it that much, but this one looks pretty smooth to me. Great guitar indeed.

Seems very interesting...But I don't know, I don't like such "mutants" smile.gif

A Les Paul with a Floyd Rose?
It looks funny, but sounds like it would be an amazing instrument! Thanks for sharing biggrin.gif

LP's dont need Floyds IMO,it also doesnt blend in with the stylings that well too.floyds should only come on pointy headed guitars

Me neither!
That would be blasphemy. laugh.gif

A Bigsby, on the other hand ... wink.gif

A Gibson LP would not be what it is if it weren't for it's sustain, it's overall sound.
A FR would make it sound a lot thinner.. dry.gif

I think the floyd Rose trem is a must for the likes of Ibanez guitars and such, but never on a Gibson. I have an Ibanez rg370 with a floating bridge (edge pro I think) and I recently bought a genuine second hand Gibson LP special from ebay for £500. They are two completely different guitars in their own right and I would personally prefer to keep it that way.

i love it especially the new neck, but i wish it had a pick guard but i guess that would conflict with the FR.

Posted by: Gus Sep 8 2008, 10:30 PM

I love les Paul sound, but even on high end LP I'd say that's not very easy play compared to top fenders or Ibanez. dry.gif

If this one is really that nice to play, it would be a dream guitar!

A Les Paul looks odd with a Floyd...no thanks...

Posted by: Tjchep Sep 9 2008, 03:39 AM

A floyd with anything works for me.

But, I think gibson Is probably just trying to get some more attention from the more metal players by adding a floyd.

Posted by: RIP Dime Sep 9 2008, 06:59 AM

That's pretty cool, I'd buy it if I was rich.

Posted by: Toni Suominen Sep 9 2008, 10:08 AM

The Floyd looks kinda weird on a Les Paul, otherwise it's pretty cool! smile.gif

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Sep 9 2008, 01:13 PM

mmm well, Les Paul is too much uncomfortable for me to play, but putting a FR is a good step biggrin.gif

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Sep 9 2008, 08:19 PM

I like the idea about the neck joint, this might be nice for playing leads, but I don't like the Floys Rose... I don't know, I just don't like vibrato systems :-)

Posted by: jacmoe Sep 10 2008, 06:20 PM

The perfect Les Paul is a Paul Reed Smith. laugh.gif

The tremolo on a PRS is superior to a Floyd.

In my humble opinion. wink.gif

Posted by: kaznie_NL Sep 10 2008, 06:26 PM

Could be cool, but I don't like FR's to much tuning problems for me tongue.gif
