it's an interesting concept, but for me, the sound of a Les Paul is iconic, and it just couldnt be the same with an FR

Theres a guy, in some band that has a silver LP witha FR. Not sure if its a Gibso' though...

I have a Les Paul custom with a factory tremolo. It has no branding except Gibson so I am not sure if it is a FR.

not a big fan of the floyd rose... maybe on a different shape though it would be ok but not LPs

Jeff Hanneman had a Les Paul with an FR (or was it a Kahler) when slayer was just starting out

you can actually see it in this video. At 1:46 you get a good look at it

I think that would be a really good idea, especially if it went into mass production.

Dude, Gibson would have made so much more money in the 80's if they'd done this. I love les pauls and I love playing with a FR. It's extremely rare to see a LP like this. Neal Schon's custom guitar to boot!! Good Find!!

LP+FR=Fail.

Easy math here :p

It just doesn't fit with the 'raw' design of the LP imho

that's a nice piece ,, but i hope it'll sound the same as the real LP .. coz LP is a unique guitar ,,, i love it

Because it was an Epiphone Les Paul.....or more like, Epiphone Les Poser lol jk jk. Just tried to make a joke lol. I doubt the FR will make it sound bad but i dunno. It looks beautiful though. I love what they did with the Fret inlays and the Custom logo and the head. :)

Agreed. FRs are great and LPs are great, but whether the tone is destroyed together, I don't know. I've also seen a few LP custom shops with Bigsby tuners that look awesome, but I've heard that they definitely change the tone (again, though, the people who told me couldn't say whether the tone was destroyed or just changed). Either way, it is nice to see some LPs that are a little more unique/customized; I'd definitely want to hear how it turns out.

looks cool, but i'm not sure of the floyd rose, i'd take it for a test drive before buying it

that floyd rose could be a cheap copy of that system a lot of fake's

Yeah would be sweet but a LP with a trem? It would be nice sure but an LP with a trem come on! Well it says on the back o'the neck its a Prototype!

It Would Be Cool, but strange at the same time...
