If they change anything the customers dont like it. there are loads of easy and sensible improvements that could be made to these classic designs but they aint gonna bother if it hurts sales

maybe they could release a "Les Paul Modern" series where they actually changed their dated and impractical designs a bit; I'd be tempted.

not to mention a modern day V ... but since i only need give my money to jonathan for a modern day V, i wont even bother with gibson hehehe

thats the thing aint it.

Lots of companies make modern versions and if they dont you can always commision something.

Gibson will keep on doing what they do the way they do it - even if it endangers the longevity and quality of their instruments.

The thing is, people want a Les Paul for what it is - warts and all. A "Les Paul Modern" isn't what Jimmy Page/Slash/Paul Kossoff etc used so a lot of punters won't buy it. They want what their idol had. I'm not saying there isn't a market for it, but it'd be a small one compared to the "Les Paul Vintage".

And don't go giving Gibson ideas about bodging the mighty SG! :shock:

I just sent them an e-mail about your idea!! :lol: I kid, I kid!!!

Even before I started playing guitar I was attracted to Les Pauls but I didn't realize that all my favorite players play LPs until I made my myspace page. I put pics of my influences and someone pointed out that almost all of them play LPs.

I love how this LP looks Joe (even better without the pickguard tho ;))! I think I might sell my strat and get another les paul, had a gig earlier and started with the strat - nothing sounded right until I switched back to the LP, which is also much nicer to play.. :P
