Sujet Les Paul Standard 90's/2000

Citation : Plus ca va plus les gibson sont legeres car ils font volontairement des trous dans le corps

Citation : Je tiens à te tenir au courant, si tu n'as toujours pas reçu ta guitare: la Les Paul Std chez Gibson vient de changer de facon dramatique: avant, la pièce d'acajou à l'arrière du body était pleine. Depuis 1983, la pièce d'acajou était perçée de plusieurs trous:


Depuis 2007, la pièce d'acajou, dans le but de réduire le poids est trouée de cette façon:


Les LP sont maintenant en moyenne 6.5 à 7 3/4 lbs... au lieu de 9.5-10 qu'elles pesaient jusque là.
Elles ont ÉNORMÉMENT moins de sustain, moins de gain et de basses, ainsi que de clarté dans les aigues.
Elles sont beaucoup plus mid, et ne sont plus balancées de la même façon (lire ici, elles piquent de la tête...).
Ca comprend ausi les studio et les Classic. Bref, toutes les LP issues de la production standard

Citation : Bon, pas encore reçus....Mai je viens de prendre le temps de chercher et de trouver plus d'info sur ce changement et j'ai trouvé une photo et une explication de gibson sur gibsontalk.com.....

Citation : The weight relief pattern has changed for 2007. We have modified the original swiss cheese hole pattern to something that has a purpose other than to lighten up the guitar. Originally, the holes were cut in a pattern that maximized the available space and did not take into consideration tone, balance, and sustain. So, we felt that a scientific approach was best if we were to change the pattern. We knew that we could now measure frequency output of the guitar and also determine positive or negative effects of any changes to the internal routing. So, we initially approached the project from the perspective of just improving the placement of the original holes. As we began testing, we noticed that when we moved the holes closer together, sound and sustain improved. We then decided to try moving the holes so close together that they actually created one big hole instead of several small ones. The area volume was the same but the improvement of sustain and output was greater. This drove us to start playing with the actual shape and size of a single large chamber and then to multiple chambers, strategically placed inside the guitar. We couldn’t do much with the control pockets and pickup pockets so we decided to focus on all of the mass and area around those routings. After several months of testing, the current sonic tuning pattern emerged. This pattern works in all Les Pauls and gives us a much better sounding instrument, sustain is improved, and as an added benefit, weight has been reduced by 20%-30%. Sustain can be improved two ways; by creating rigidity and by sound reverberation. While reducing weight further wasn’t our goal, it definitely should be received as a positive side affect to our real goal; giving reason to our original weight relief pattern of holes.
