• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

How do the True Historic Parts and plastics compare to aftermarket options?

Just curious how the new Gibson True Historic plastics and parts on the newer Les Paul Reissues compare to reproductions from other companies. Are there more historically accurate parts from other manufacturers these days, or are the ones Gibson puts out just as good these days?

I cannot add any useful info to this subject, but I own a true historic, and am very curious about this also. Patiently waiting for answers!lol on a side note, I have noticed that the TH TRC and pickguard don’t have the little lines going a crossed them like the originals have. I don’t know if any aftermarket pieces have that either though.
