Progress to report: Traded off the "70s time capsule" modified '73 routed Deluxe on this... 2009 Knotty Pine Roundup, 1 of 75
...then picked up a screaming deal on a set of unmolested Patent Sticker pickups, mounted on a Jazzmaster pickguard, with 1970 dated pots...
...then, went into my local Long & McQuade to check out the new Gibsons they got in for "Gibson Month", with the objective of maybe getting something to put the Patent Sticker pickups into, and saw this; a mint 2014 Traditional, darkback tobacco burst with '59 tribute pickups and peek-a-boo flame. It had been traded in, so was much cheaper than a new one, and arguably the nicest looking guitar in the store.
the guitar is very resonant, great sustain on all notes, non weight-relieved body but only 9.2lbs.. and a big fat neck!
