New Gibson ES-Les Paul Gold Top

Beautiful!!!! Really!!!!

 

I have been eyeballing the burst one for a few days now.
And figuring out how many liquor stores I will have to rob to get one...

 

What is the street price? Any idea?

 

must be spendy if your thinkin that way

 

Yeah but that's a deal, the guitar version is $3699

 

that goldtop is one of the best looking basses I've ever seen.

 

I wish someone would buy one of these already, so we can hear some sound clips!

Maybe Gibson will put some up around NAMM time!

 

...maybe there will be an Epi version...
...sooner or later...

 

Gibson only released three basses this year and none of them suit my fancy. Oh well, such is life.

 

No worries about neck dive. They have ultra-light Hipshot tuners. There are a few videos of Gibson Memphis from NAMM on YouTube where they talk about them. The neck used is an actual Les Paul neck and the pickups are specially made just for this bass.

I pre-ordered a Gold Top from Sweetwater a few days ago. They're expected to ship early March.

 

Man oh Man, is that hot! I got to check that out How cool would it be to have a semi-hollow EB3 with F Holes?

 

This is an evil temptation. As an owner of a Epi Jack Casady and a Hofner, this would fit right in. Would anyone like to send me one? Please?

 

i like the burst

 

Fortunately, it far exceeds the capacity of my wallet, otherwise I'd have jumped on this one. Stunning bass, would love to hear it.

Anybody knows what strings they put on that baby ? They said they were flatwounds (as it should), but Gibson don't make flats. Looks like D'addario Chromes or Rotosound Flats, judging from the silk color.

 

Want to go in on a time share Gibson?

 

Major Metal:
You are an evil man. Lead us not into Penn Station, but deliver us from EVIL.
And, what would we do about my wife?

 

Refinish the bass to match her car!
