NGD: Gibson Les Paul Classic

[celticelk]

What's your take on the difference between the Gibby and the Eclipse? I've been really enjoying the feel of my 25.5" Schecter Jazz-7 (so much that I just bought another one!), and I'm tempted to have a go at a longer-scale Les Paul-style 7.

Figured some of you here might be interested in this.

Nice! I've got one of the old Epi LPC7s. Always cool to see 7 string Gibsons!

 

[SonicBlur]

I like it a lot! Congratulations!!

So bummed that these weren't available in Canada!

I'm seeing them now and again on eBay, if you're not a strictly try-before-you-buy person.

Not really a comparison at all, the Gibson eats the LTD. I'd expect an ESP Eclipse-7 to be more comparable.

I've actually never purchased a single guitar online. I'm fairly picky about guitars, and with how abysmal most of Gibson's QCing is...

HNGD and thanks for reminding me of how awesome the Chemical Wedding album is!

Musician's Fiend has a 45-day return policy, so if I hated it, I'd only be out return shipping.

So this thread got me all fired up, I decided that I deserve one of these. Got on the phone and found out that this IS available to order here, as of one week ago (coincedentally, it became available the week of my birthday). Extremely limited availability here, but nonetheless, good news. Thanks for the thread, probably wouldn't have checked back with the store about it had your thread not stoked the jealous fires

I look forward to your report on its doom-ability!

Always glad to help fuel someone's GAS.

So we recorded with this yesterday, and while I can't say they're all like this - Gibson's QC is legendary in it's inconsistency - this guitar kicks ass, both from a playing and sound standpoint.

Believe you me, I agonized over ordering for a few days for this exact reason. I've played some awful Gibson at the GC near my office. Musician's Fiend has a 45-day return policy, though, so I knew worst case scenario would be out $50 for return shipping.
