Hi, I’m a beginner at guitar playing and I’m looking for the description to the following guitar:

http://j.imagehost.org/0390/001_5.jpg

I know it’s a black Gibson Les Paul-type but does that guitar model have a certain name considering that it has a white outline around the body and neck?

In addition, is it still being sold?

Thanks for any assistance.

It’s a Les Paul "Custom"

some were built with 3 pickups, but I think the owner installed the 3rd pickup, because the spacing isn’t even, like the real 3 pickup models

the pickups are definitely "aftermarket"

I’m looking for the dimensions of a Les Paul. I just need the main body, with curve dimensions, and lengths and i need dimensions for the neck also. thanks.

You’re gonna build a guitar? Cool. Sorry, I’m not a luthier or anything. I’m not even good at guitar. But I’ll Look for something.

EDIT: sorry buddy, it’s actually pretty hard to find. You might want to try building a guitar that fits you, not another Les Paul. Designing your own guitar would be pretty kick @ss.

I play almost every music style and genre but I mostly play classic rock, modern rock, prog rock, alternative, metal and acoustic in some cases. So I need a guitar that can play many styles and sounds great as well.
So, the Gibson, well, it is a Gibson!?!?!! http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Studio-Faded/Overview.aspx

The Ultra II has a nanomag active-acoustic pickup plus the alnico classic and the alnico classic plus. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Standard-Ultra-II.aspx

The Prophecy GX has a push/pull knob that separates the made in USA Gibson Dirty Fingers from Single coil to humbuckers. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Epiphone/Prophecy-Les-Paul-Custom-GX-(Dirty-Fingers)/Overview.aspx

They are all beautiful guitars, so, Which one should I buy?????
Or should I buy another Guitar???

Gibson Les Paul Studio faded is your best bet

If I get a Gibson Les Paul studio with P90 pickups can I change the pickups out for normal humbuckers? In other words, are the pickups the same size?

I’m sorry but that is just blasphemy. Gibson P90’s are the most awesome pups ever. You’re dead to me now ( :
But no, they aren’t the same size. The P90 is an oversized single coil.

Hey, about an hour ago I purchased the gh3 game and guitar bundle (brand new) from EB games for my 360, and about 10 minutes into playing the whammy bar crapped out. Now every single held note whammys as if im holding the whammy bar down AND IM NOT!! I even tried cailbrating it and it didnt work. Please help me =/

Hm, that’s a bit odd. I would try pulling on the whammy a little (towards you). It might be jammed.

These guitars are usually very expensive selling at $7,000-$10,000 if you try to by them at places like Guitar center

and he’s selling it on Ebay for just $999.99!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190308873222

No one’s bidded on it yet, which it crazy (its got a few days left). But it just seems to me that selling a $10,000 guitar for just $999 is silly. It’s a amazing deal for other, but how’s it smart on his part??

OMG!, i want one of those guitars!!!

i dont have enough money, but if i had the money ill buy it.

its too cheap man!, its not stupid, but is not logical,

I like them because of there tone,feel,sound and look

I liked mine because of the incredible tone, the fast neck, the excellent tuning pegs, the beauty of the shape and colors. Mine was black with mother of pearl inlays. The only problem for me was the weight. I was slight at the time and not very tall. Hey, but I would give anything to have another one!

depends on whether you worthy.

i just need to know because its my first time and i got a gibson as a gift

No they do not.You’ll have to buy your own guitar cable.

There is a huge range of cables with different lengths and prices. You could spend anywhere from 20-200 dollars and up.

The quality of cable you buy is very important as this is how the signal is transferred. If you have an expensive guitar and expensive amp, but you use a very cheap cable, your sound is going to suffer.

A good cable is a great investment in your sound that is often overlooked!

It is not available as an aftermarket retro-fit. It can only be done at one of the Gibson factories and it is very expensive. To find out more contact Gibson U.S.A.
