My first Gibson
This is the first Gibson I ever bought. 2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard in transparent Ebony burst. Guitar center exclusive finish. I picked this up back in 2019, immediately fell in love with it trying it out in the store. In typical Gibson fashion it seems, the pickups were harmonic. I ended up getting the bridge humbucker wax potted and left the neck alone. I like using the neck humbucker for cleans and it being slightly harmonic just has something about it when you play it that I couldn’t bring myself to change. Running the bridge pickup with gain and being harmonic was not feasible of course though. But it’s probably the most photogenic guitar I own. The humbucker covers were originally black but gigging and recording it and sweating on it has aged them to a more mellow black appearance. I dig the rosewood fretboard but always feel like if it was ebony it would have been the icing on the cake though. Anywho, anyone else out there have one of these?
