An anime video (cool song!) drove sales of a particular year LPC? Wow.godgrinder wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:42 pmDong Hua has that one I think?
When I bought my BBR5 I had to pick between that and a 50th Anni 68 Reissue. Went for the '55 since I always wanted a P90 LPC. When it's time for me a get a '68 the price on post-2014 ones went through the roof due to this anime, so I had to settle with a 2010.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
The show ran for a whole season. Gibson also made a lot less of them after they fixed the design for whatever reason. So they've suddenly became a bit more rare.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
90-something LPC - I seriously can't put this thing down. This one has a nice medium weight, normally I find LPs cumbersome, but this isn't. Love the neck shape too - it's just right. Phew.
It has aged really tastefully. Part of me wants to take out the PAFs and put in some Doug Aldrich pickups, but it already sounds fantastic so I may not do that. The previous owner added straplocks and graphtech saddles which are both good mods in my eyes.
Damn it's cool.

I played my LP infront of some students last year and the first question was if my guitar was "the one from the anime" haha.GrantB wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 3:21 pmAn anime video (cool song!) drove sales of a particular year LPC?

'82 30th anniversary goldtop and a mangled '73 Deluxe. The one in the middle is Greco, so doesn't count (1990 EGC600, for the record).

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
Does it have 498/490 or Bill Lawrences (PCB backplate)? I'd go for the Aldrich over 498/490 but the BL's sounded pretty cool.
