I guess the 2015 changes indicate they don't really think things through...
They're hideous. I wouldn't buy one, especially as there are always loads of alternatives.
Come on, we all care what our guitars look like. Even those putting tape over logos are making an aesthetic choice and a statement.
I don't understand why loads of people have a problem with the tuners either.

... But the headstock was putting you off. Not saying that's wrong or anything, but it would be a tough choice.
I don't do finish work, but I can recommend someone who does. However I am available for machinehead replacement, nut replacement, removing mini-switches and adding missing pots, active circuit removal and proper fitting of pickguards. Just saying .

I've never felt that strongly either way about them (except for a natural ES335), and the new logo doesn't wind me up in any way either, but these recent changes really seem to have boiled the piss of more people than virtually anything they've done in years.
It seems odd to me that a company with such an iconic history would behave like that towards their customer base.
Genuine question.

Which if it's a great guitar, you won't.
Fundamentally the design and construction of a Custom Shop guitar is similar to a normal factory ones. There may be a few tweaks and refinements but their profit margin on a Custom shop guitar is going to be a lot higher on a Custom Shop guitar than on a normal factory one. If there is no decent spec conventional Les Paul from the factory then the people who want that will buy a Custom Shop model, and Gibson will probably make $500 more per instrument in profit.

I used to have a 928 S2!
Well, a normal Standard now is like £2500 ? With some USA model (Premium Quilt) is listed at £3200 at GuitarGuitar !!!
Andertons has the 2015 R8 with nice tops, as opposed to plain for £3300.
I know which one I'd get. I mean if you are thinking of modding a £2500 standard, by the time you finished, you might as well get an R8.
Or you can get a Custom Shop Class 5 for £2,800-3,000 in a few places still.
Weird hair style as well...
