My no longer new 2017 LP Std, but still nice... :-)

2017 Gibson Les Paul Standard, weighs in at 8 pounds and 10 oz. Burstbucker pro pickups, Maple top, Rosewood fret board, some flame, a little semi quilt finish. It's Cherry Burst... I hope you like viewing it. It was setup by the masters of the craft...



Really, a smooth guitar, I will enjoy it I believe.

Thank you Chris!!! She plays real well, well, for this hack anyway... Honestly, I just figured it was a decent investment at what I paid and all new and setup by the masters at Wildwood Guitars. Sure, I could lose some $, but I could earn some too if I sold it someday, maybe. Most likely, it will be my daughter's to decide someday. I don't think I will sell it unless I well, had too. Nobody gonna make me, just a matter of greenbacks! lol. I bought it for about 1K under what they say 2018 Les Pauls were price increased too. I don't know how much stock I put in that, but you know, who knows what the future holds. Gibson could go bust, or materials get so high a guitar like this used would be worth 4-5K. Anything is possible?

Rosewood is gradually becoming a thing of the past for Fretboard materials, they say. Gibson is using mostly richlite for Fretboards now? I think it's just compressed paper with polymers in it or something like that. Doesn't play bad, but it's no Rosewood.
