Trogly's review says 9.5lb range? He raises all the issues you speak of as well. Theres a good thread at tdpri of players chomping at the bit for these. Who, exactly, is the market for a half-assed '70s Les Paul? It's not accurate enough for collectors, and I'm not aware of any players who are pining for the good ol' days of Gibson in the '70s.

But then I slid sideways into: 'Who asked for this in the first place?' At least a '52 Les Paul Reissue is of interest to collectors, if not a mass market. I just don't think I said it all in one post. Keep the volute, and lose the 9-piece, 12lb, pancake body. If you're going to do a reissue, don't just take a standard Les Paul and slap a pair of mini-hums in it and call it a '70s reissue. The RI's fixed the neck angle so you could top wrap the bridge like it was intended. Keep all the good things of the Deluxe and fix the things that shouldn't have been done. I love that guitar and regret not setting my GT neck angle to accommodate the trapeze. I suppose sparkle and candy apple would be kinda special.ĭid have a sparkle black squier std and it was not nearly as yawn inducing as normal. 1st trans red means wood grain so I dont include that in red, although still getting a bit sick of trans red and with there was a lot more green and blue woodgrain. I don't care much for Dakota or Fiesta Red, either. Well, some red finishes are good (like CAR or trans wine), just not the boring, bright red you often see. I would have bought a Squier CV Deluxe Tele a long time ago if it came in some other color besides black and white. I'll add to your plea to the manufacturers by saying: If you have to make black one of the color options, don't make the other one white. I have one black Jazz Bass and one black Tele, and that's more than enough for me. but now, I have zero interest in black guitars. When I was younger, a guitar could be any color, as long as it was black.
