That's pretty close to my Gibson LP Studio which is a 2008 that is chambered. I love playing it acoustically because the sound really comes out like on a hollow or semi-hollowed body guitar.

This Les Paul was still boxed when I picked it up. It's a 2016....It had been ordered for someone and they never picked it up. Got it for $1,200.00 with Gibson HSC...

Mine was gray primer almost the entire time I owned it.

COOL, MAN!!!!
Dad owned a restoration shoppe, so I couldn't drive in primer....

The neck feels small, considering what I am used to playing. Here's a few quick pics and first impressions.
This guitar was produced on 10/02/2015. It has the best intonation I've seen thus far on a new Gibson. The action and relief are good too. You may notice the tailpiece is raised and strings are making light contact with the bridge - not unusual an can be attributed to a slightly steeper neck angle.
The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer and its beautiful. I cannot find a sizeable flaw. The entire guitar is highly polished black front and back. This also has the gloss headstock instead of the flat back found on the "specials" and the 50's Tribute Goldtop.
The back of the body and neck also have no visible grain. Its just amazing in appearance.
The Green Keys are a favorite of mine and they tune up very nicely. The case is really pink and smells like vanilla.
Haven't had time to play it yet....

For sure!

Ok, so I measured and confirmed this has the thin "slim taper" neck. Not my favorite profile, but I'm going to look at this objectively...
Who are you trying to kid, brother? We know you much better than that!!!

Ok...here's the specs on this 2060's Gibson Les Paul Studio T Series:
Neck
Profile: slim profile
Thickness at Fret 1 = 0.800"
Thickness at Fret 12 = 0.875"
Nut width = 1-11/16"
Fingerboard =1.695" @ nut, 2.260" @ end of board
That would put this neck somewhere in the middle - between the 1959 RI and the 1991 Classic shown below:
Now, I had a brand new Gibson 1950's Tribute Goldtop and just loved the .951" neck, but the guitar had a lot of fretboard issues and a super-steep neck angle, so I moved on.
Now this guitar is different. The build quality is impressive...more like what we used to expect from Gibson.
More to come...
