I was in there the other day and there was this les paul. It had what looked to be a maple fretboard. it was some other wood that looked like maple thoug. it was like a les paul classic or standard. but it had like a red kind of flame top. nothing too fancy and like an orangish binding. it was a pretty cool looking les paul. and the non-rosewood or ebony fretboard was neat too. I asked a friend that works there and he said it is one of a kind. I thought that was pretty cool. Its like $3 grand though. But thats Gibson for ya. I just thought it was cool to see a les paul with a light fretboard like that other than the zakk camo bullseye.

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
i have a friend out in the Bay Area who has a blonde Les Paul with a maple fretboard, too...that's an EXTREMELY rare guitar, and the price is pretty justified... -
Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
I cant justify spending that much on a guitar. lol. it wasnt maple though. i want to say it was cedar or something.
i wish i could remember. it looked like maple but it wasnt. they said this one was one of a kind. i just thought that was neat seeing a one of a kind les paul in po dunk south carolina.Comment

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
well, it's up to the person who would want it, but the price asked is about right...whether you want to spend that or not is up to you...Comment

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
maybe it was pau ferro (sp?) that kind of looks like a faded rosewood-not nearly as light as maple. I believe it was used on the older SRV strats as well.Comment

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
no this looked like maple. I wish I could just remember what kind of wood it was. It looked just like the zakk wylde camo bullseye but a little more figured. also i think they said it was a '59 reissue.Comment

The older SRV's had Brazillian Rosewood fretboards. They had reddish streaks in them. When Brazillian Rosewood went on the endangered species list they switched to Pao-Ferro.Comment

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
nah this was something that looked like maple but wasnt. i know that is all kinds of helpful. I just thought it was cool that there was a one of a kind LP sitting at my local shop in little ole south carolina. course there is like 5 Jacksons in the whole state and I own 4 of them. lol.Comment

It might be one of those Smartwood Exotics - where they used non-endangered - but usually more expensive - woods instead of rosewood, mahogany, and maple.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Re: One of a kind les paul at local shop
He said it was one of a kind 59 reissue type thing. Ill go by and ask them again exactly what it is. It was pretty cool though. Ive never seen anything like it. Even the red kind of flamed top I havent seen on a les paul. Just thought it was cool. My local shop actually gets some pretty cool stuff in every once and a while. One guy ordered a Rhoads like the limited, didnt get to see it though. They have had 2-3 Zakk bullseyes and 1 camo bullseye. They've also had a pretty cool Washburn like Dimes, it was diamond plated and had ebony fretboard. Also the owner has gotten a custom made PRS and Les Paul that were drop dead amazing. That PRS was the nicest PRS Ive ever seen. It had to be like a 10 AAAA top or something. lol. Even the neck was tiger striped. the bird inlays were like pearl and had gold etched around them. The Les Paul was pretty crazy too. They were both like $8-10K guitars. But they never stock Jacksons so I miss out on those. The only Jacksons that show up there are either ones Im selling or that Ive bought. lolComment
