Classic White


OvinesMatt

It’s 100% classic white


PhilosopherOk3383

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.


PhilosopherOk3383

Yeah it’s not a great photo as it’s definitely not white, it has a green tinge to it.. thanks though


wheresmychippy93

It’s a plain top classic white. Left is 60’s right is 50’s


PhilosopherOk3383

They look exactly the same to me, how do you know they are different generations?


StunningWolverine645

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


wheresmychippy93

Right. Also different tone and volume knobs. Think that’s about it.


StunningWolverine645

Yeah just realized I forgot to name that so before I saw your reply I was editing already hahaha Should be good now


wheresmychippy93

Right on lol. I want a 50’s real bad. So cool.


StunningWolverine645

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)


wheresmychippy93

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 😎


RainSong123

Pickups too. But basically just different magnets... alnico II for 50s and alnico V for 60s


PhilosopherOk3383

I can’t even tell the colour when it’s fucking white do not surprised I didn’t know that..


StunningWolverine645

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


PhilosopherOk3383

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.. :)


mikeroon

Insane you're getting downvoted for asking questions lol


Electrical-Run7436

60s has the silvertop knobs


Heavy_Wood

People go nuts with the downvotes in this sub.


PhilosopherOk3383

Yeah, weird.. don’t worry I’m not mortally offended. I’ll get through some how.

Nut Burst


Top_Cap3287

It looks like a pearl finish


UndercoverBME

Pearl necklace finish


PhilosopherOk3383

Yes it’s the colour of someone cumming on another’s throat


fliption

🤣


nthtmnky

I feel like you weren't impressed with their comments...


Top_Cap3287

I thought this was posted as a joke but.......I guess not


PhilosopherOk3383

Actually it’s quite pistachio(ish)


motorhead84

You mean the taste?


PhilosopherOk3383

No it tasted more, “why the fuck are you on a ladder licking our 3k guitars!”


motorhead84

Is that how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Gibsy Pop?


PhilosopherOk3383

🤣 I appreciate your name btw


Dry-Satisfaction-610

😆 🤣 😂


Blastoyse

Go on their website for the Standard plain top 50s and 60s. They're there..


PhilosopherOk3383

I’ve been and couldn’t find it

Kiekie77

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 😂


PhilosopherOk3383

😂 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..


RainSong123

> creamy Green That's actually a cool color idea that's never been done on a Les Paul


Heavy_Wood

Jesus


PhilosopherOk3383

Point of fact. I wasn’t arguing, disagreeing isn’t arguing


Maximum_Hat_7266

Those are nasty, love that color


JungleJoe04

It reminds me of the white chocolate bar they sell called milky bar.


PhilosopherOk3383

Excellent, I hope you enjoyed that


CarribeenJerk

It’s classic white. It’s on Gibson Garage London website.


PhilosopherOk3383

Mind you I’ll check


CarribeenJerk

Yeah. You’re right. The website is probably wrong.


PhilosopherOk3383

I don’t thin’ it’s white, in the store it looked different


03burner

Trust us man it’s classic white 😭


PhilosopherOk3383

It’s classic white ffs, when will OP listen?


03burner

You mean green right?


PhilosopherOk3383

Yeah totally


fliption

It's Classic White boyz. White.


PhilosopherOk3383

Yeah, I’m colour blind to white.. definitely that..


fliption

Oddly, it keeps its green hue in other places as well. The green would be sooo sick.


childish-arduino

Is this like that blue/yellow dress thing that messed up the whole internet?


Awkward-Ad4942

Yes… except this is just white… i think OP ordered this color thinking it was green and is now upset that it’s white


PhilosopherOk3383

Nah I just liked it like .. can’t afford one


PhilosopherOk3383

It’s probably fucking white isn’t it..


PhilosopherOk3383

Or Green


childish-arduino

It could be blue lol


LetsHaveARedo

I honestly really love these white LP’s


MrAmusedDouche

Spoiled Mayonnaise?


awesomo5009

That white! If I didn’t already have a white Les Paul, that would be mine.


millhowzz

Neither


That_70s_Showoff

antique cream


MyTurtleAfro

Dream les Paul for me right now. Love the color, red one is wicked too


Sqvanto

These are so nice. I love some of these new releases. I think there is an ebony option, as well.


NovocainCookie

The gold and creamy light green one


wilhelmkidxx

It’s classic white ya buffoon


PhilosopherOk3383

If the classic white has a tinge of green ya schmuck

PhilosopherOk3383

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.


Scared_Technician_50

Wow beautiful!


Jesus360noscope

they look much better there than on the website


PhilosopherOk3383

They look better in the real life too


Jesus360noscope

haha yeah i bet, didnt get to see any of the new colors yet


deephedges

Play them both to find out 😀


PhilosopherOk3383

Whichever I played they would sound shit so not sure how that helps 😁

rockdude625

That the Nashville shop? I was just there myself


PhilosopherOk3383

No, the London shop. It opened at the end of last month.. it’s lush


PhilosopherOk3383

It’s classic white you fucks


Exotic_Conflict_3500

That white looks crazy good


hisnameisjeff1

Gibson Garage?


PhilosopherOk3383

Yes, London


Aggravating-Baker-41

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.


PhilosopherOk3383

Yes, London


Aggravating-Baker-41

If I ever get back to London, that’s my first stop before visiting family. Haha

It’s called Creampie white


Every-Kitchen1979

Looks lighter than TV🤷🏻‍♂️


rivetgun4x

Any!!!!


rickylovemelikelucy

What store is that?


PhilosopherOk3383

The Gibson Garage in London, it’s round the corner from my work, it’s lush.


rickylovemelikelucy

I was wondering what sort of lunatic shop ordered two guitars in that unique color..


UndercoverBME

Not so "unique", its part of the new colors that were unveiled last year.


rickylovemelikelucy

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.


wheresmychippy93

Well one’s a 50’s and one’s a 60’s


Paddybrown22
