I have a right-handed 2017 Standard T in HCS. It is a fantastic guitar. I've owned other Gibson Les Pauls previously, this one though is exceptional, it's so articulate, responsive and feels alive. A superb guitar.

Lucky! I got a heritage cherry sunburst used for 1550 which is why I didn’t get the blueberry burst.

Please do not confuse "coil tap" and "coil split". When single coil of humbucker is used -- it's "coil split". When part of pickup wires is removed inside the coil -- it's "coil tap".
@likeanuuk66127 жыл бұрын
Ivan Kosyakov alot of people understand this but the problem is hardly anyone makes real coil taps anymore

Love this! Me a leftie too and it's HIGH time that one of the Big Guns showed some colour choice for us lefties! I unboxed the same guitar today in Blueberry Burst! It's Stunning! Fender don't give a shit about us lefties - so thank you Gibson!!! About time! The colour I couldn't resist, although your right, all the 2017 are stunning...

Nick's somebody I could hang out and jam with. Kudos to Sweetwater for givin' the guy a job. I bought a Gibson Les Paul Custom 1973 when i was in 8th grade for $350.00(used). That guitar is not feasible these days for me, but the Epi Tommy Iommi may be. Thanks Nick for your reviews!

What's the finish on the back of the neck? I got a Tribute I chose over a Standard, because the neck was so glossy my hand didn't slide nicely like the satin finish on my tribute.

I have one of these 2017 Standards. I also have Epiphone Standards, and custom shop models, such as the Bonamassa. Trust me, the Epi's are great guitars but, in all honesty there is quite a big difference between the Epi's and the Gibson. The Bonamassa is the closest soundwise, almost as full and articulate as the Gibson but, ultimately the Gibson is the better guitar. Which it should be, it cost about 4 times as much as the Epiphones
