    Default New Guitar Day, 08 Gold Top Les Paul Traditional. Pics.

    I'm a pretty happy lad at the moment.

    Purchased a new Gold Top on the weekend. Havn't got it yet though, should be here by the end of the week. Weighs in at a nice 10.2lb.

    What yas think.

    Love it, and the case. Only thing better would be if it was a P90 axe.

    Is the "Traditional" supposedly built in the standard Gibson style and the "Standard" has weight relief and circuitboard electronics?
    Oh no.....


    Oh Yeah!

    IIRC the Traditional still has the weight relief holes while the Standard is chambered to reduce the weight.
