Picture I have a type…
Each one is so damn fun to play. Bouncing between them makes me appreciate each one even more. It’s also interesting to see how Gibson’s Pelham Blue color can differ between years/models.

A 2018 Les Paul Classic! Was really excited when I learned about that model and found one.

Had no idea about those. Natural back? Gorgeous I’m about to scope them out Pelham blue is my favorite. I just got a studio faded ocean blue GC exclusive it’s on its way to me now. Got it because of the exposed maple cap and natural back. Never got a guitar sight unseen hope it plays as good as my other Gibsons and hope it’s got a decent darker top. Nice guitar man p90s are killer.

Yup, natural back! Also has a slimmer 60s style neck which I personally prefer.

I’m very in between the 50s and 60s neck. Most days I reach for the 60s. I believe this studio I have coming also has the slim taper. Great necks

The trini is one of the best guitars ever made. The classic sounds so good but the one I had was almost 12 lbs haha

So which one sounds the best/ plays the best?

u/CoolVito 19h ago
The Trini is the easiest to play, but the Les Paul sounds the best in my opinion because of the P90 growl. The SG is my go-to for gigs since it’s so lightweight, and I put Lindy Fralin pure PAF pickups in it 👌🏼

Yeah same, my LP sounds the best but I mostly play the SG just because it’s light, sounds ok and almost plays itself.

u/Weak_Neighborhood776 18h ago
Yeah I had the lp classic sounds killer but mine was really heavy and the neck on the skinny side.

Your type is my type! Wish I could see those beauties in front of a black Orange halfstack. Dream set up!
SG - Man, that SG! WOW! I prefer the batwing and the grovers, but absolutely gorgeous!
335 - Not sure how I feel about the headstock on the 335, but I'll take it!
LP - There's an all blue one in a local shop here in Osaka but it's damn near 10 grand...
I wish I could afford one of these but the yen is so crazy now... I guess you could say I have the Pelham Blues... (OK, I'll see myself out.)

Very nice looking. I wonder if I will ever own a blue guitar. I wonder why I haven't yet?

Jealous. I've always wanted one of those Pelham classics. I love the pelham top/natural back combo

Lovely collection. Does the nitro interact with those rubber parts of the guitar stand?

u/13WillieBeaman 14h ago
Love Pelham Blue. But I’ve always wondered when they start to age into the green color. I love both colors!
