It's a limited edition model with all the same specs as this Traditional (same pickups, orange drops, no weight-relief, etc.) except it has a 60's neck, top-hat knobs, and no nibs. I'm in love with it. It weighs only 8.4 lbs, despite being solid and the neck is much faster. Don't know how I feel about no nibs but I highly recommend it to someone who is looking for a Traditional but can't deal with the baseball-bat necks.

The weight depends on the density of the wood. So you can have a non-weight relieved guitar weight almost the same as a swiss-cheese weight relieved guitar. I've seen non-weight relieved Les Pauls vary from 9-11.5 lbs.

I need to correct Capt' on his down play of what capacitor is on the tone pot, the capacitor can make or break what sound you try to get. A resistor (on the volume pot) can carry your sustain forever when you run it through your amp. The wrong one can make a 59 les paul sound like fingers on a chalk board.
@kingdarko10 жыл бұрын
Just to take into account the that if you had a plank of wood that you could make 10 guitars out of, the guitars made with the wood at the base of the tree would be heavier than those made from the top, because trees are denser and stronger at the base than the top.

So ... the difference to a modern weight relieved guitar and no weight relief at all is only 1.2 pounds? I expected to be the differences to be larger. My epiphone (which I don't own anymore) weighed a solid 12 pounds, and I've also heard about LP's weighing as little as only 7 pounds. So the weight relief difference of only 1.2 pounds just seems a little bit like small change to me, and makes me wonder why Gibson is even doing it in the first place.

Wood density is different on every tree. If you think of different batches with the same volume, weight is going to be different. And for your information, the same mass with less weight is better for tone. So, nothing new here. Bad, cheaper and weighty wood goes into cheap guitars and they're chambered. Better and lighter wood goes in the traditional which is solid. The Standard is modern weight relief, misses a lot of wood inside. To weight that much, the standard must have the cheapest mahogany around. Just saying...

Gibson claims this "weight relieving" was a customer driven issue. The only problem is I have met Les Paul owners from virtually all over the world and from my conversations with them none of them ever heard of anyone complaining about the weight! I own a '74, '76 and '80 Les Paul and true they are heavy (all ranging between 9-10 lbs.) but I never had an issue with the weight especially since I use a well cushioned strap. Just who the hell complained about the weight? Anyone know?

It depends on the player man.
