[edit] Merge "Swamp Ash Studio" into this?

There is an article on the Gibson Les Paul Swamp Ash Studio. Although that article is rather bigger and more detailed than this, I think it should be merged into this because it is a variant of the Les Paul Studio.

However, this should probably be expanded to give a more comprehensive history and timeline of the LP Studio models, so that the merger does not overwhelm this article with info on the LP SA Studio. Respectfully, SamBlob 15:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Good idea go for it! There are too many LP model articles. These 2 can easily be merged. Cheers! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 19:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I definitely think you should merge them. What's the point in having two articles for the same model (kind of the same). Plus, I am thinking about adding some info off of gibson.com. Tell me know to if you don't want me to. --Smartman93 23:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I am in the process of merging the articles. As for adding content, if it makes a better article, go right ahead! Respectfully, SamBlob 12:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I edited this page to remove the link to the Swamp Ash Studio to avoid double redirects. Respectfully, SamBlob 12:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An infobox for the Gem Series?

I have entered a subsection for the Gem series. I have also prepared an infobox using [Image:GibsonGem.jpg] as the featured image. I have not yet added it because I believe that might be overkill for a limited series of unknown historical importance to the marque.

I would appreciate any advice or comment on this idea. Respectfully, SamBlob 00:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Without seeing your GEM infobox my only thought is that right now the article looks unbalanced with an infobox plunked in the middle for the Swamp Ash but no infobox at the lead for the main model. A "mini" infobox would be handy for this type of situation where the "sub" or limited variation models don't warrant an article of their own...but would benefit from having an infobox all the same. Try your infobox and see how it looks. I am thinking that 2 pics of the Swamp Ash is 1 too many?....Thoughts? Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 01:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I decided just to put up a small picture. It worked better in the full article than it did as a section preview. I set up an infobox for the main picture instead. Respectfully, SamBlob 23:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

It looks really good. FU availability or not I am still thinking of grabbing a promo pic from Gibson.com....for consistency. But I know as soon as I grab one Abu will swoop in and tag it as replaceable. I have no luck with fair use. Cheers! Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 01:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
