Ok. Thanks

With today's technology, I think it could be fixed. But there's no financial incentive.

Is there a better mix available or maybe in the works?

That's what I kinda thought. I was trying to give EC the benefit of the doubt, but that's how the mix seems. Why bring on a hired gun guitarist just to bury him in the mix? Clapton's always been a bit of an odd bird to me anyways.

I recently bought a CD of Layla and Assorted Love Songs. It seems that Duanes guitar volume is generally too low throughout the recording. Did I get a bad remaster or is that how the original recording was mixed? I dont remember it being like that on the old LP version, but I dont remember a lot...

The final word. This from Gibson Customer Service: "Hi, Thanks for the reply. The pictures and serial number are consistent with a Les Paul Signature T model in Wine Red finish, made on the 7th day of 2013 in Nashville, TN. This originally came with Min-ETune tuners and the truss rod cover would...

So most likely the truss rod cover's been replaced. I know it has the Vintage Relic 50's wiring. If it is indeed a Signature T, then I guess a 3rd mod is the manual tuners. They should be Grover locking type and not Grover Deluxe.

Got her on Monday and she's a joy. A nicer guitar than my 2001 Classic.

The research I've been doing points in the same direction. Count me in as a T truss rod cover hater. What the hell was Gibson thinking putting that cheap looking thing on a Les Paul?

Need chrome neck and bridge for my Les Paul. Thanks.

Thanks all

I bought this guitar because it's almost lmost an exact clone of a Classic that my wife brought me as a gift some years ago. I sold it and have regretted it ever since.

It's not problematic. As I stated, I bought the guitar because I like the features. I would like to know what exact model I own though. I read somewhere that the first 2 numbers of the serial should represent the year, is that incorrect?

This morning, I purchased this guitar on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/40104022-gibson-les-paul-signature-t-with-manual-tuners-2013-wine-red?show_sold=true My first question is shouldn't the first 2 numbers of the serial number be "13" if it's a 2013 model? I'm not an expert on Les Paul's, but...

Replacement Pickups For 2003 Les Paul Classic I've found a good price on a 490R neck and 498T bridge used (from a Les Paul Studio I think). My Classic sports a 496R and a 500T. Now, two questions from a Les Paul novice: Will they provide a more classic mellower tone than my stock pickups? Will...
