Well, I went and picked one up in faded tobacco. I really like this thing, feels good, looks great, plays and sounds good too. It's very light, I don't have a scale, but I think it's lighter than my R7 that is 8.9 lbs. Right out of the box the action was a little high, so I'll have to set that up to my liking. I have to say I'm on the fence on the BBV's. They are good enough to consider them good pickups, but are a little thinner than I prefer for my tastes; very Page-like (I like a little thicker Duane tone). So I might or might not swap them out.
That's a nice top!

wtf, the flame on that is killer!

Nice guitar Tatt...

So, what are you gonna sell to pay for this baby??

Looks much better there than the photo on Gibson's site IMO. Very nice.

Wow! That's ther best looking top that I have seen on one of the faded's. Nice score. Did you buy directly at a store or via the internet?

drool.

Looks sweet TAT. Hope you like it a bunch. I'll look for a deal in the trading post when you get tired of it!

how on earth did you land one with that good of a top? man i'm jealous! i looked high and low online and at all the local shops i know of and at a damn guitar show and every one (aside from yours and wattage's) have had the ugliest bland tops. man that's a killer good score!!

I love mine and mine is also very light. I think they've dropped a few jems out there for sure. Good luck with it TC. BTW I like the BBV neck but the bridge was gone the day after I got it. Got a Screamin Demon in for now but I am putting in a 59 eventually.

I like the fact they have almost no finish, since the wood breathes better and resonates more. Let me know when you want to sell yours!

WoW!!!

Wow ... I didn't know the faded series came that nice.

How much did she set ya back?

I got it at music123, can you believe that? Stupid me took another chance on a sight-unseen and ended up with that. I didn't go with my regular Gibson guy this time because it was very much a impulse GAS buy (aren't they all), and he had to order it and I'd have to plan to drive down 80 miles and check it out, and I just don't have time right now. So, $1460 out-the-door and I bumped up $40 for 2nd day air.

dude thats an awesome les paul i wish i could afford one , btw are you a drug dealer or something?????
you always buying gibsons and sh1t

TC...I dog it brother! That one has a killer top on it, and I really like the colour. When you get tired of looking at it or you decide to buy something else let me know...I will take that one off your hands!

HAHAHAHA what an oxymoron!

i was playing one today and i love the way the resonate its something else. i wasnt a fan of the pickups either though. they could use more low end to them they sounded too trebley for my liking.
