Les Paul Classic Antique - Gibson Guitar of the Week #2
January 30th, 2007
Gibson has released their second Guitar of the Week and man is it stunning. Gibson announced the Les Paul Classic Antique at this years NAMM Gibson has been making it for years. Look at the amazing finish on this guitar. Gibson calls it Fireburst and I think it is just freaking amazing.
Like I said the guitar is a run of the mill Classic Antique complete with ‘57 humbuckers, ’60s slim taper profile, rosewood fingerboard, and antique binding. The Les Paul is no different from others keeping the 3-way pickup toggle switch and volume/tone controls in their standard positions.
Obviously we can’t expect Gibson to be putting out a totally unique Custom each week, but I hope we get to see some more variations from their standard product lineup in the future. Again though, I am all about this finish. I think it’s stunning.

Gibson just annouced the Classic Antique at NAMM 2007, so I’m not sure what you mean when you say it’s been made for years.

Awesome! It is a beautiful guitar and I’d trade my Epi Honeyburst for it any day.
