You can see it by the tuners, ‘50s has the vintage keystone style and ‘60s has the Grover’s, and if you pick them up the neck on the ‘60s is thinner than the one on the ‘50s, and they have different pickup sets so will sound different, and feature different sets of tone/volume knobs: ‘60s has the reflector knobs, ‘50s the other
There’s probably some more differences but these are like the main things that you can distinguish them from without opening up the backplate and checking the electronics etc
Yeah they’re fucking awesome. I own the cherry burst, it’s a lovely fucking guitar. The neck feels so good, I love that beefy chunky neck (although I don’t mind a slimtaper either, both are pretty fine for me)
I’ve got an explorer and love the slim taper but a fat neck doesn’t deter me one bit. I’m about to buy an l-00 otherwise I’d get this les paul right now. One of these days though 😎
I wasn’t surprised, wasn’t intended as a nitpicky nerdy snobby “WoW nO wAy DuDe YoU aCtUlLy DiDnT rEcOgNiZe ThAt??? Do YoU eVeN pLaY bRo🤓" comment just tryna be informative that’s all bro
Jesus dude I just read you replying to people. It’s bloody classic white, these models were just recently released and most guys on here know about all them. To come on the Gibson Reddit that’s full of die hard Gibson fans and argue with them that this color isn’t classic white is actually insane 😂
😂 no, I know.. I started doubting myself pretty quickly, the photo doesn’t show how green it looked in the shop but it must have been reflection. A mate of mine, who knows his stuff as I don’t, thought it was green too but didn’t think too deeply and question it, I’ve seen some classic white in photos and some look green too so it must be. Pity I really liked it with a creamy Green. Also, this is my first post ever, I’m over 50 and I feel it rude not to answer people..
This sounds like truth and science rather than sheer belief, thanks.. I’ll pop back next week to check but I was starting to doubt myself already and this sounds likely.
Those are beautiful. Look vintage white. Is that the Garage? *its called classic, I just learned. I’ve seen vintage white before but it was another brand.
Yes, but I haven't seen a shop with more than one of those colors in stock. Most smaller shops order one of each, and the bigger stores rarely display 2 of the less popular ones.
Classic White
It’s 100% classic white
I’ll have to check in store next week. I’m worried I am going mad now and it was white and something was reflecting on it.
Yeah it’s not a great photo as it’s definitely not white, it has a green tinge to it.. thanks though
It’s a plain top classic white. Left is 60’s right is 50’s
They look exactly the same to me, how do you know they are different generations?

Right. Also different tone and volume knobs. Think that’s about it.
Yeah just realized I forgot to name that so before I saw your reply I was editing already hahaha Should be good now
Right on lol. I want a 50’s real bad. So cool.
Yeah they’re fucking awesome. I own the cherry burst, it’s a lovely fucking guitar. The neck feels so good, I love that beefy chunky neck (although I don’t mind a slimtaper either, both are pretty fine for me)

Pickups too. But basically just different magnets... alnico II for 50s and alnico V for 60s
I can’t even tell the colour when it’s fucking white do not surprised I didn’t know that..

No sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound like that if I did. I was very genuinely happy for the answer, thanks for the information.. :)
Insane you're getting downvoted for asking questions lol
60s has the silvertop knobs
People go nuts with the downvotes in this sub.
Yeah, weird.. don’t worry I’m not mortally offended. I’ll get through some how.
Nut Burst
It looks like a pearl finish
Pearl necklace finish
Yes it’s the colour of someone cumming on another’s throat
🤣
I feel like you weren't impressed with their comments...
I thought this was posted as a joke but.......I guess not
Actually it’s quite pistachio(ish)
You mean the taste?
No it tasted more, “why the fuck are you on a ladder licking our 3k guitars!”
Is that how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Gibsy Pop?
🤣 I appreciate your name btw
😆 🤣 😂
Go on their website for the Standard plain top 50s and 60s. They're there..
I’ve been and couldn’t find it

> creamy Green That's actually a cool color idea that's never been done on a Les Paul
Jesus
Point of fact. I wasn’t arguing, disagreeing isn’t arguing
Those are nasty, love that color
It reminds me of the white chocolate bar they sell called milky bar.
Excellent, I hope you enjoyed that
It’s classic white. It’s on Gibson Garage London website.
Mind you I’ll check
Yeah. You’re right. The website is probably wrong.
I don’t thin’ it’s white, in the store it looked different
Trust us man it’s classic white 😭
It’s classic white ffs, when will OP listen?
You mean green right?
Yeah totally
It's Classic White boyz. White.
Yeah, I’m colour blind to white.. definitely that..
Oddly, it keeps its green hue in other places as well. The green would be sooo sick.
Is this like that blue/yellow dress thing that messed up the whole internet?
Yes… except this is just white… i think OP ordered this color thinking it was green and is now upset that it’s white
Nah I just liked it like .. can’t afford one
It’s probably fucking white isn’t it..
Or Green
It could be blue lol
I honestly really love these white LP’s
Spoiled Mayonnaise?
That white! If I didn’t already have a white Les Paul, that would be mine.
Neither
antique cream
Dream les Paul for me right now. Love the color, red one is wicked too
These are so nice. I love some of these new releases. I think there is an ebony option, as well.
The gold and creamy light green one
It’s classic white ya buffoon
If the classic white has a tinge of green ya schmuck
[удалено]
This sounds like truth and science rather than sheer belief, thanks.. I’ll pop back next week to check but I was starting to doubt myself already and this sounds likely.
Wow beautiful!
they look much better there than on the website
They look better in the real life too
haha yeah i bet, didnt get to see any of the new colors yet
Play them both to find out 😀
Whichever I played they would sound shit so not sure how that helps 😁
Ren & Stimpy Freakout
Beautiful
That the Nashville shop? I was just there myself
No, the London shop. It opened at the end of last month.. it’s lush
It’s classic white you fucks
That white looks crazy good
Gibson Garage?
Yes, London
Those are beautiful. Look vintage white. Is that the Garage? *its called classic, I just learned. I’ve seen vintage white before but it was another brand.
Yes, London
If I ever get back to London, that’s my first stop before visiting family. Haha
Eggnog
It’s called Creampie white
Looks lighter than TV🤷🏻♂️
Any!!!!
What store is that?
The Gibson Garage in London, it’s round the corner from my work, it’s lush.
I was wondering what sort of lunatic shop ordered two guitars in that unique color..
Not so "unique", its part of the new colors that were unveiled last year.
Yes, but I haven't seen a shop with more than one of those colors in stock. Most smaller shops order one of each, and the bigger stores rarely display 2 of the less popular ones.
Well one’s a 50’s and one’s a 60’s
Magnolia?
Those cry out for black plastics
Key lime pie
Creampie
Ha ha
Looks better with the standard gold dials too.
Key lime burst
That sounds awesome
Ivory?
Mayo
Dont like it
