And the price is right.
they may sound amazing. but they look like crap imo. they look like well, someone took a piece of wood and stuck it in the oven. doesnt look natural and sticks out like a sore thumb. especially on darker colored guitars. but thats just me, i have absolutely no problem if you like them.I can understand some people disliking the maple board on the Les Paul. But yesterday I saw a video on youtube of a guy playing the hell out of a maple fingerboard les paul (chambered even) and I gottta tell you guys, it did not sound bad at all! That thing growled and roared in his hands like a wild beast, which made me reconsider my point of view... They may not follow the "ole recipee" of a custom les paul... but they sound pretty good indeed!

One piece mahogany body is used in the Les Paul Specials and the 1960 Les Paul Custom RI - the one on the picture above and my avatar as well. From what I have read/heard, the original 57-60 Customs are all mahogany body, but they are made of 2 pieces glued together.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...
There's my lady:

That is beauty beyond words! I can't stop looking.
Dude, is that your house or at a shop? What a great display, more pics of thy please! That custom is LOVELY.
Got the new big box catalog and Lo
Gibson customs are now maple caps, no binding on the rear, and have a GASP "baked Maple" fretboard for "snap"
I like traditional with ebony and binding on the rear and can really tell the difference with my mahogany top VS my standard with maple top
You don't think this looks natural and sticks out like a sore thumb? (And it looked like this out of the box--no dye/treatment done):
For less than 2k, I really like that guitar.
It has such a Ronson vibe...:applaude

What the heck is "baked maple"? Something you eat? :spabout
^That thing is awesome. I was leaning toward that color or the ebony, but all they had was gold top and I've always wanted a gold top.
