...and since we'll be playing some heavy stuff, I'm bringing Jackie this time.
Let's hear how she growls and bites the audience...

You Git-slinger, you. Go get 'em Sérgio!
how does that roasted maple feel compared to a rosewood fingerboard? Is it raw or finished?
It's raw, and feels more like rosewood than typical finished maple boards.
But maple isn't as porous as Rosewood, so it feels a tad finer in touch. I'd say if you closed your eyes and played for a bit, it'd remind you of ebony.
Some from the 2012 era have laminate--not sure what my 2012 LP Trad has, but it's got one of the best feeling necks and fbs that I've played.Quote:

We played a small gig in another of the old buildings I love so much. A few shots of the place, it was built in the late 1920s

Cool pics. Looks like you were in the zone.
Yeah, I love to rock this kind of place. So, did I understand correctly? Your Les Paul Trad has a baked maple board too?Quote:

I have no knowledge of Gibson using any kind of maple laminate, only rosewood.
Your guitar is a 2012, and they were using maple that year... Which is perfectly ok, since Maple is a great tonewood. Post a pic and we'll be sure, yes?
It could be baked maple. Just not sure.Quote:

that is definitely rosewood. The whole laminate thing was overblown. There was no reason Gibson had to do it, nobody knows why they did. The purists basically had a conniption and the sales were in the tank. Frankly I doubt if 1 out of a 1000 guitarists could even tell blindfolded if they were playing a laminate or one piece rosewood fingerboard.
Dan, you're right. I couldn't give two shits whether it's rosewood, laminate, or tile flooring. It plays and sounds great.
Nice Gig pics Sergio -
lighting looks nice too
Yes, it's definitely rosewood.
