Disagree. My 2014 LP is quite solid and beautiful. No quality issues here.2014 and 2015 ?
During those production years, Gibson sold its soul to the devil. Very bad neck bindings .

I bought a 2015 Goldtop Deluxe as it was............
a) The guitar I have always wanted.
b) At a price I could afford, after discounting.
c) It was cooler than a Polar Bear's prostate.
Good things are that it is stunningly well built and finished, sounds completely killer and enhances my primary sexual characteristics.
Naff things were watching the Gforce sawing its way through the soft brass nut and the fact that the Gforce was neither quick or stable.
The neck width presents no problems at all, and I can't see either the headstock logo or the hologram when I'm playing the guitar.
I'm very pleased with the pickups too, I might change them at a later date, then again I might not!
A genuinely excellent guitar!
I also recently bought a 2015 Deluxe Goldtop and am very happy with it. I've had a few Les Pauls before. The wider neck was not an issue for me, and surprisingly I think the pickups are fine too. G Force was included but removed from the guitar. I am the second owner so I had no proof of purchase, but Gibson still sent me the titanium nut.Gibson will replace the brass nut with a titanium one on request if you contact them with your guitar details and proof of purchase.
Replace the G Force with your favourite tuners (I used Gotoh 510 lockers), and you will have a great guitar.
Hi everyone
I bought a 2015 LP Traditional 6 months ago and to be honest, I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Last but not least: This was a real bargain. Thanks to all the negative publicity regarding 2015 models, retailers in Europe offered massive discounts and I was able to buy it for €1,400 !! That's less than the price of a 2016 LP Studio.

I have been having a look see at the 2016 Lesters, just to see if there is anything I fancy come the release of the 2017 range.
I can't believe how poor the finish is on some of these guitars. The naff body to neck paint slop over and the frankly iffy finish generally makes me realise what a bargain I got!
My Deluxe is getting better and better as it settles in. It might be me, but I do believe that guitars take a while to find their 'voice'.
I still can't play for toffee though.
I agree with most of these comments re 2015 LP. Pity Elias;2722323 didn't look around before buying. There are still 2015 LP Standards in some UK dealers at £1299, (unfortunately I bought mine early at £1636, dammit), and a friend of mine bought a Studio for £499 at the height of the discounting - lucky sod!
He also managed to pick up a NOS 2014 LP Standard Quilt Top for £1499 - How lucky was that?!!
I also notice that there is some indication that the 2016's may also see some heavy discounting in the UK when the 2017's are due ..............
