  • New Les Paul

    Anybody see this yet? Its going for a lot of money, but I am not a very big fan of Les Pauls. The paint job looks nice though. http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/05/g...ts-the-market/

    I would like to try it out myself. Not sure if it is worth the hype they are surrounding it with.

      Wow, a VariPaul, but they couldn't figure out a way to throw in XTL compatability, Roland-readiness, AND get both digital and analog signals at the same time?

      I can, and I will have it, and it will be done on a Jackson.

      I'm such a genius it scares me.

        I tried one out at NAMM. Very nice guitar. Gibson clearly doesn't know what the fuck to do with it yet though. All they had it hooked up to was a PC with 6 inputs into a sequencing program with different effect plugins for each strings. They didn't even have one of the GuitarRig type setups so you could actually do amp models. Dumbasses.

        It was *really* fucking cool to be able to position each string in a different spot in the stereo spectrum. Imagine 6 string arpeggios or finger picking that "move". It was really neat. You wouldn't want to use that sort of thing all the time but it was a great effect.

        Of course, Roland has had this with the VG-8 and a GK pickup since the mid 90's and they actually figured out what to do with the technology rather than just toss out a wierd 6 output pickup and say "here ya go".
        I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

          Sounds like it was fun to play. I am just not a big Les Paul fan to start with, but it would be nice to try one out.
