I'm not even a huge fan, but my Les Paul Custom rules.

 

[soliloquy]

My 2010 Gibson Les Paul Studio, please excuse the EMGs, I was young. And I know I goofed hard when I strung it up, I was half asleep at the time.

i always thought that the studio versions lacked binding. even if its plastic or whatever...but that guitar of yours sure is PERFECT just the way it is!!!






as for me. i've never had a gibson, nor do care for the brand name (ie, if i own a gibson, i automatically become better than the world, silly attitude...), however, some of my favorite guitars of all time are made by gibson. and its not even their higher end guitars either...nor are they liked by people for some odd reason. but the ones i like are the:
gibson BFG:

first, i LOVE its neck. i love how the grain pops up through the finish on its neck. i LOVE how rouged the guitar is, and how 'basic' it is. nothing fancy. plus, a P90 in the neck such is kick ass.

again, i have no idea why many hate the BFG so much


and my second favorite one is the original version of the 'faded brown/vintage mahogany' guitars:

when i say 'original' i mean the models that didn't come with a maple cap. not that i have anything against maple, but i really loved the grains popping out on the top of the mahogany ones.

I don't have a gibson to post, but I've always loved the good ones. I can't die happy until I own an Explorer E2. It will always be my dream guitar.

Thanks, dude! And those BFG's are killer guitars, such a wide range of tones you can get with em.

BFGs are pretty cool but I couldnt get on with how rough the damn thing felt when you played it.

Though I liked how quickly the neck wore.

I've seen a lot of BFG's with light flamed maple tops underneath the finish. I've always wanted to buy a BFG, strip the finish (hope it's got one of the caps under it) and then give it a nice light sunburst.

 

[bouVIP]

bouVIP, I want one of these... did you add that pickguard yourself ? cause AFAIK they don't have one

I installed it after I bought it. As far as Standards go they all come with the pickguard on the side just in case you want to install it, but they aren't installed when bought new.

My Gibson SG was one of the finest guitars I had, and the Goth LP I had wasn't anything to be ashamed of either, only reason I got rid of the SG was for my Steiny I believe and the LP I stopped getting along with the carved top and damn was it heavy after a while of playing.

I also have a huge bromer for Claudio Sanchez's Explorer collection

Count me in. I've been a lifelong Gibby fan, and have owned over 75 since I got my first one (a '58 LP Jr., which I still have) as a kid in 1972 for my 8th birthday. I'm particularly fond of Flying V's and SG's.

fan of both designs I like less, we're balancing things out haha

I love Gibson. Sure, they aren't my favorite when it comes to the way they market. I also can't stand the "Only a Gibson is good enough" fan boys. I will say they make a fantastic sounding guitar. I just tried the Axcess for the first time a couple weeks ago, and my god it was amazing. It's next on my got to have list.
