I have been looking around the site and read posts mentioning the Musician's Friend Website.
There is a guitar there : "Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Electric Guitar" here is the URL: Vintage Les Paul I would appreciate anyone's input on this item. I have always had Yamaha guitars and I have have had my SE350 for a long time. I have had Les Paul copies but never a true Gibson. If anyone has this actual guitar and can give me some advice, or any advice based on experiance I would appreciate it. The price seems great for the guitar. Last Poll: Faded Cherry or Worn Brown? Thanks in advance Scoob This post has been edited by Scoob: Mar 19 2007, 04:26 AM -------------------- GEAR

QUOTE (Scoob @ Mar 19 2007, 04:15 AM)  There is a guitar there : "Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany Electric Guitar" I'm puzzled by the pu's... The link description at the link you gave doesn't say anything about 490R and 498T pu's but instead "Gibson's Alnico V BurstBucker Pro humbuckers" Like here for.ex FlyingV where is says 496R/500T (which IMHO are a lot hotter than 490/498). But the Flying V is somewhat unfriendly to play sitting down... But my point is. What pickups are there really on that LP? -------------------- My bands homepage

BurstBucker Info from Gibson

But the Flying V is somewhat unfriendly to play sitting down... But my point is. What pickups are there really on that LP? I found this info on the Gibson site BurstBucker Pickup info Here is a small Blurb as well: "BurstBucker ProTM humbuckers are offered in a calibrated pair; the neck position (IM59A), and the bridge position (IM59B). Output of these pickups is similar to the standard BurstBuckerT #1 and #2 model. And BurstBucker ProTM pickups are wax potted so that they can withstand loud volume pressures without annoying feedback. Each model is available with either German Nickel Silver- or 24ct Gold-plated covers." Any more thoughts after that info ? I appreciate the fact that you caught the fact that the Pickups are not the usual. Thanks Scoob This post has been edited by Scoob: Mar 20 2007, 12:52 AM -------------------- GEAR
