NGD. 2012 Gibson LP studio

[Leedspool]

So I put my Variax Standard on the small adds see what’s out there. The Variax is a nice guitar, like new, case included. But I have a Variax 700 and for some reason didn’t bond with the new one

Some chap reached out and asked to do an exchange for his 2012 LP studio. I contacted my Gibson adviser Mr Ninja Kingsley, and he advised it was a coil tap model. And obviously said I should get it (but he is bias for Gibson’s GAS) Came with OHSC and paper work factory check list

Any how here some pics of it straight after getting it home. Will have a strum tonight

Happy NGD.

My opinion only, but I think you got the best of that deal.

Have fun with the new toy.

Looking at your new guitar, it occurs to me......

That would look really cool with gold reflector knobs and a R/T toggle switch ring, if you're into that sort of thing.

Either way, she's a beaut.

Great looking guitar. If it was mine id darkin and oil that fretboard . Congrats

 

[BFT Gibson]

Awesome! Man, I love ebony Studios. And you got a great deal on that trade.

Would look killer with a Custom-style BWBWB pickguard IMO.

Congratulations on a fine looking axe sir!

Could that be some kind of rosewood alternative fretboard material? 2012 was that era...it doesn’t look like baked maple though...

As far as specifications are concerned, the 2012 Studios feature granadillo fingerboards, modern weight-relieved bodies and push-pull coil splits on both humbucking pickups.

...and saved me from such a fate, in the process
Really though, it looks very nice. It also looks like it has the less green snot, more golden tuning keys...like the ones that came on my SG Standard from that year.

So plugged in and it sounding great. Adjusted PU height was just a couple mm off strings. I like backed off a little. Strings are ok, intonation is spot on.

My strap clips right on the black strap locks.
Is sweet

Congrats and Enjoy!
Really, thats the type of 1st Gibson I could see me with some day.
That circuit board thing is not my first choice, but if it functions properly, so be it.

Leeds,
This kinda sounds familiar. Wonder where I might have heard this idea before!
