Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded2006

How do you know if a 2006 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded is traditionally weight relieved or chambered? I've red Gibson started chambering them during 2006.

Spring should be swiss cheese/weight relieved.

If you dig deep enough in the forum search you should find it down to the month.

Unscientific as it may be, but if the guitar is around 8lbs and under chances are it's chambered. More in line with 9 lbs should be swiss cheese.

Both fine guitars. I actually slightly prefer the chambered models. So does Larry Corsa, who is partly responsible for the Standard Faded's popularity.
