This is why the post Norlin guitars are generally lighter - not because they suddenly started buying lighter mahogany....
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
It makes the guitar more manageable weight-wise and any tonal changes are pretty tiny
Im sure the 2010s are quite similiar. Plus goldtop les pauls are always nice.
So bottom line is play it - if it feels right, plays right and sounds right, then what the 'eck - I don't see any major issues with a 2010 Gold Top and yes expect Burstbuckers - how much is he asking
Can't recall the exact cut off period but I'm not a fan of that silly jack socket and see thru' back plate with 'bing electronics' and not everyone likes the asymmetrical neck of that period but you need to play and let your hands be the judge of it
I agree about playing it and then make a decision but I find that it's incredibly difficult to get any sort of an idea how a guitar sounds when you're sitting in someone's house and probably don't have the option to play it at anything but low volume levels, particularly if it's an 'as new' guitar. My last LP was a 2001 so probably very different from a recent model. I think I'll probably give this one a miss and try and find an earlier standard.
This is well worth a look.
The chambered I think started in 2006 and I've not played one that I thought sounded like a "typical" Les Paul, you might think it sounds better though.
Whenever I play chambered guitars however I usually find certain notes very lively and they jump out louder than others. I find this on Gretsch Duo Jets too.
I love Les Pauls, whether solid or 9-hole weight-relieved, but a chambered Les Paul is a different animal, it sounds like a 336.
Not necessarily a bad guitar, but a terrible Les Paul IMO.
