Un boxing, Les Paul Faded HP
Gibson held a 48-hour fire sale though the big three Web Merchants in the US. 2016 Models discounted from $300 to $650.
I found the Les Paul Faded T HP at Guitar Center. The Lowest Advertised Price (LPA) for this Guitar is $1,150. The discount was $350 and I traded an Epiphone Classic T and my 2016 Faded Traditional to cover the rest.
Please Note, in the unboxing, I do find some minor issues with the Guitar. I called one of the salesmen I work with at my local Guitar Center. He spoke with the Store Manager and in less than 20 minutes he called back with a fix for ever issues. Excellent Customer Support Highland Park IL, Guitar Center.
The quality and quantity of upgrades going from the T series to the HP, is mind blowing. Here are just a few.
Gibson Gforce Robo Tuner
Titanium full adjustable nut
Newly designed "soloist' neck. (Much thinner & takes over 1lbs off the weight of the guitar).
