I'm 40+ now and it's been my mission since the teenage years to own a proper Gibson Les Paul. I've got a Gibson LP Tribute 2017 and it's a fantastic guitar, but it's fuzzy on whether it's a "proper Gibson Les Paul" with it being a budget model. Anyways, I saw that the Moderns and Supremes came out with the carved neck heel and that solved the upper fret access which was one of my main gripes with LPs, the other being that they should have SS frets. I don't like the look of the Moderns, none of their tops appeal to me. The Supremes look great to me - both the ebony and fireburst. I want something that I can gig with - lightweight, 60s slim taper neck, fret access, and the Supreme seems to check all the boxes.
I'm just looking for thoughts, opinions, insight on the new Supreme. Like, what market was Gibson trying to serve with the new Supremes? Any information on the guitar is welcome. I just want to develop a well rounded understanding on where the new Supreme fits in the LP catalog.
