Introduction: Welcome to the Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited The Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited is Gibson's (fourth) generation “Robot” guitar. Building on the success of the original Robot Guitar, the groundbreaking Dark Fire, and its predecessor the Dusk Tiger, the Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited represents the apex of today's technology matched with the Les Paul tradition of finely‐crafted guitars. Some of the Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's standout features include: Third‐generation Robot Tuning Technology for automatic, accurate tuning TM Instantly selectable choice of tunings (standard and alternate tunings) Chameleon Tone Technology delivers iconic guitar sounds without digital modeling TM The Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited is equally at home in live performance or recording ...
The MCK is a sophisticated “push‐pull” knob with an illuminated interactive display called the Display Matrix. The display shows Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's status as you select tunings, sounds, and more with the knob. It is your primary way of interacting with Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's operating system. Pulling the MCK up (furthest from the guitar body) activates it and applies power to Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 6 ...

Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited. You can think of the 88 presets as a “playlist” taken from your master library of presets. Red (Function) Bank. The Red bank is for configuring Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited, intonating the guitar, doing advanced tuning functions, and more. 1.3 Switching Among Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited Banks Switching between the Blue and Green Banks: As these are the most often‐ used Banks, it's easy to switch between them. Pushing Enter briefly on the MCK while in the Green Bank switches to the Blue Bank, and pushing Enter briefly on the MCK while in the Blue Bank switches to the Green Bank. Switching among all Banks: With Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited powered‐on, push Enter on the MCK briefly, then push Enter again within half a second. This takes you to the next Bank. A series of quick presses, with each press within half a second of the next one, cycles through the various Banks. The order of Bank selection is Green – Blue – Yellow – Red. This “wraps around,” so if Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited is in the Red Bank, pushing Enter on the MCK takes you to the Green Bank. ...

1. Use a standard guitar cord to connect Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited to your amplifier. 2. Pull the MCK out, tune Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited, and select a sound, as described in the Quick Start guide. 3. When powered‐on, Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's output carries a mix of the magnetic and Piezo pickup signals, with the balance determined by the blend control (pickup switch toggle). Turn the toggle clockwise for more Piezo sound, or counter‐clockwise for more magnetic sound. Note: There is an option to determine if the Piezo out appears on the tip and/or ring of the stereo cable or neither. See Section 6.2, Functions 2 and 3. 1.4.3 Using the Gibson LP‐Z Low Impedance Output Circuit Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's output jack is a “combo” type that provides a standard 1/4” guitar output or Gibson's exclusive low‐impedance, balanced output LP‐Z circuit. To activate the LP‐Z output, set the switch (to the left of the output jack) in the down position. The green LED next to the switch will illuminate. Plug the appropriate plug into the Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's output. For driving a standard amp, use a 1/4” stereo or mono guitar cable. For the LP‐Z output, you will need either a custom length XLR male‐to‐male XLR cable, or use a standard XLR male‐XLR‐female mic cables in conjunction with an XLR male‐to‐male adapter (e.g. Radio Shack part #274‐015). Caution: When plugging the LP‐Z output into a mic input, never turn on the input's phantom power. ...

Either one of these operations can permanently damage the RoboHeads. Unlike conventional tuning keys, RoboHeads all turn in the same direction. The RoboHead tuner posts have locking nuts to secure the end of each string during tuning operations. Robot technology includes special options for changing strings (see Sections 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8), as this is much faster than changing strings manually. Gibson strongly advises using these functions when changing strings not only because it's faster and more convenient, but because they minimize RoboHead wear.

The volume controls in a classic Les Paul interact with each other when the pickup toggle is in the middle position (i.e., selecting both pickups). Due to this interaction, if either the neck or bridge volume control is at “0” (all the way down), the signal is grounded and you will not hear any output— regardless of the other control's setting. If you want to change the mix of the magnetic pickups with the pickup toggle in the middle position, start with both magnetic pickup volume controls on “5” (up halfway), then adjust to taste. 3.4 Other Factors Affecting Chameleon Tone There are very significant differences in each Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited Chameleon Tone setting. The tones were worked on for some time in studio settings to match vintage guitars. However, note that a guitar's tone results from a combination of factors. For example, putting a single coil in a guitar does not necessarily make it sound like the classic guitars that use single coil pickups. The four main factors influencing tone are: Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 15 ...
You can combine a custom sound and tuning within a single preset. ● The Gibson Chameleon Editor makes it easy to create, store, back up, and share custom presets for the Yellow Bank (as well as the Blue and Green Banks). If you don't have access to a computer, it is possible to create presets for the Yellow Bank (see Section 5.4) but the process is more tedious, and doesn't allow access to several useful functions. Conceptually, many Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited owners treat the Yellow Bank as a “playlist” of ...

Push Enter briefly to toggle between Note Mode (display shows “N”) or Frequency Mode (display shows “F”). This setting is not stored; Note Name is the default. 6. Pluck a string (open or fretted) and observe the readout. Continue to pluck strings as needed. 7. To exit tuner mode, rotate the MCK to any position other than fully clockwise or fully counter‐clockwise, and push Enter briefly. 5.3 Intonation (Position = I, ID = I) When strings aren't properly intonated the octave (12 fret) is off‐pitch compared to the open string. th When correctly intonated, the octave is exactly one octave above the open string. Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's intonation function makes intonating guitar strings easy. Each string has an intonation screw on the part of the bridge that faces away from the pickups. Adjusting these screws clockwise or counterclockwise adjusts the intonation; Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited will tell you exactly how much you need to turn these screws, and in which direction. Notes: Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 20 ...

This is normal, as Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited switches automatically to a special high‐accuracy mode. 5.3.1 Intonation Step‐by‐Step 1. In the Blue or Yellow Bank, choose a tuning. For general intonation, Gibson recommends using the standard tuning. However, using alternate tunings can throw off intonation. If you want perfect intonation for an alternate tuning, select that tuning prior to doing intonation. 2. Choose the Red Bank by initiating a series of brief, successive pushes on Enter until the Red Bank appears. ...

During pitch detection, Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited checks that the resulting tuning is ● within the allowed pitch ranges, as specified in section 5.4.1 on Custom Tuning Preset Creation. If a reference tuning is still active when selecting the same tuning for retuning, the display will ● show the preset ID briefly in red when entering the tuning function, then change to blue. This reminds you that Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited is set to a specific reference tuning. 5.6 Replacing Strings: General Guidelines Because each key turns extremely slowly when tuned by hand, Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's Red Bank includes two modes to speed up, and automate, the string‐changing process. Reminder: Do not use manual or mechanically‐powered “string winder” tools. The two modes are: • Single String Up Mode (for replacing individual strings, or replacing strings one at a time after removing all strings) • String Down Mode (for removing all strings at the same time) You may want to “break in” your strings by tugging gently on them, and also perform multiple tunings until they've stabilized—just like changing strings on a conventional guitar. Also, use strings with ends that fit completely within the bridge end holes and do not short out to the bridge. For best results when changing strings, please follow these steps carefully. 1. Manually rotate each tuner until the hole in the string binding post provides a straight path for threading each new string. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 23 ...
Page 24
Two or at most three presses should put enough tension on the new string for it to tune with standard tuning operations. Also, remember that no tuning functions work if any portion of the string shorts to the bridge base or adjacent strings. 5.8.1 Tuning Up Strings Step‐by‐Step 1. Choose the Red Bank by initiating a series of brief, successive pushes on Enter until the Red Bank appears. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 24 ...

5.9 Yellow Bank User Bank Selection (Position = G, ID = U) The Yellow Bank has eight User Banks, each of which has 11 presets. When you select the Yellow Bank, it defaults to whatever User Bank has been selected using this function (if no User Bank has ever been selected, the Yellow Bank defaults to User Bank 1). 5.9.1 Selecting a Yellow Bank User Bank Step‐by‐Step 1. Choose the Red Bank by initiating a series of brief, successive pushes on Enter until the Red Bank appears. 2. While in the Red Bank, rotate the MCK to the G position. 3. Push Enter for more than one second; the Display Matrix shows the currently selected User Bank in yellow. 4. Rotate the MCK to select the desired User Bank (1‐8). The outer LED that corresponds to the bank you've selected will shine blue. If you turn the MCK to an invalid position (i.e., above 8), the Display Matrix shows “X.” 5. After selecting the desired User Bank, push Enter briefly to activate the User Bank. The Display Matrix shows the User Bank number in green briefly before exiting to the Red Bank. Now when you select the Yellow Bank, the outer LED that corresponds to the selected User Bank will shine yellow, and remain selected until you repeat the above procedure to select a different User Bank.

7. After entering the value, turn the MCK fully counter‐clockwise to the Enter position (cyan arrow with right‐angle tail) and push Enter briefly. The Display Matrix will show the entered parameter value, then flash all outer LEDs green to confirm that the value has been accepted. 8. Exit the Setup menu by pushing Enter for more than one second. The following set of tables shows the various user‐editable Functions available in Function Mode, but please notes the following important points. Note 1: The function's “clickstream” shown in each chart abbreviates the MCK operations needed to edit the function. To save space and text: It's assumed you've already completed steps 1‐3 under Selecting Setup Mode. ● The § symbol means, “rotate the MCK fully counter‐clockwise then push Enter briefly.” ● Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 26 ...

Function 17 Clipping correction Default = 1 Value Result Clickstream 0 Clipping correction is disabled (not recommended) 17 § 0 § 1 Enables clipping correction to improve E‐function correction accuracy 17 § 1 § Note: Deviations in the signal strength of individual piezo pickups can influence the precision of the E‐function correction. Enabling clipping correction minimizes this error by monitoring the signal strength over time (specifically the time a string is clipping), then using the results to improve the E‐function correction. Function 18 Neck tension correction Default = 1 Value Result Clickstream 0 Neck tension correction is turned off 17 § 0 § 1 Neck tension correction is turned on 17 § 1 § Note: Changing a single string's pitch will alter the neck tension, and thus influence the pitch of other strings. With this option activated, the expected influence of changing the pitch of one string is calculated for all other strings. If the accumulated changes for a string already considered in tune exceed a certain threshold (1 cent with highest sensitivity), the tuning process for this string restarts. Example: Retuning all strings in most cases will result in changes equal to or less than 1 cent per string. This will not have a noticeable effect on neck tension, so all strings will only be tuned once. If changing from normal tuning to dropped D, the low E string will be detuned 200 cents. This will have a noticeable influence on the other strings; so after the low E string has been tuned, all other strings are marked as out‐of‐tune again. This option will increase the tuning accuracy, but might have a slight impact on the tuning performance, depending on the order in which the strings are tuned. In the worst case, it will behave like “TuneCount = 2.” Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 28 ...

If value = 0, both the preset tuning and sound are activated. This causes the system to start the tuning process on preset activation. If value = 1, only the preset's sound is loaded. Activating the tuning is still possible by pushing Enter for more than one second. Following are additional setup mode functions for doing a variety of system resets; these follow the same basic procedures as the previous setup functions. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 29 ...

This diagram indicates signal flow within Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's electronics. Note that the magnetic pickups and Piezo pickup have their own equalizers, and that the Piezo blend circuit is post‐ equalizer. In Hex Mode, the *RIP Computer Interface does sophisticated analog signal multiplexing in order to have the Piezo pickup and the individual hex pickups available on a single conductor (i.e., the stereo cable's ring connection).

You may use this technique for all tunings / strings that are at lower pitch than the tuning you are using. Tuning Multiple Strings Down If you want to tune more than one string down to a certain pitch, you may fret and strum string by string. Let´s do an Eb (Hendrix tuning) with this technique. 1. Activate Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited's standard EADGBe tuning but don't strum yet. 2. Fret the low E at the 1st fret and pluck only that string. Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited will tune the low E string to Eb. 3. Fret the A string at the 1st fret and pluck only that string. Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited will tune the A string to Ab. 4. Fret the D string at the 1st fret and pluck only that string. Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited will tune the D string to Db. 5. Continue fretting strings at the 1st fret and plucking individual strings. Appendix C: Battery and Power Management Appendix C: Battery and Power Management Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 33 ...
• Caution: Do not use any charger other than the one supplied with Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited. Li‐Ion batteries require specific charge rates. • Avoid full discharges that drain the battery completely. Li‐Ion batteries like to be discharged somewhat, then recharged back to full capacity. Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited provides a good environment for Li‐Ion batteries, as you’ll typically discharge it about halfway during the length of a concert. Charging the battery back to full charge after playing provides optimum battery life. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 Page 34 ...
If you play Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited and discharge it 50% during a concert, then charge it to full capacity, that is only half of a charge/discharge cycle. If you play Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited every day and discharge it to 75% of capacity then charge it back to 100%, it would take four days before the battery would experience a full charge/discharge cycle. However, a battery has a finite life regardless of whether you’ve used up the full number of charge/discharge cycles—after about 2‐3 years its internal resistance rises to the point where it can no longer deliver its rated voltage. It’s important to remember that Li‐Ion batteries like “exercise.” Leaving a battery on a charger all the time will lead to lower performance than doing some degree of charging and discharging.

If you encounter problems with Les Paul Standard 2010 Limited, Gibson recommends that you take it to an authorized service center. Although there are some procedures you can try yourself, be careful— if you have any doubt about your ability to do any of these fixes, please consult Gibson tech support. One or more strings don't seem to tune correctly, but the rest do. There can be several possible reasons for this problem: • The nut slot too high and there's too much friction • The lock nut on the string post is not tight enough • The string was strummed too hard, causing it to go sharp • A sticky string bar in the saddle causes pitch detection to fail • The accuracy setting needs to be higher; the accuracy setting is too low (Section 6.2, Function 10) • E‐Function Correction is enabled (refer to Section 6.2, Function 12) • The tailpiece is set too low, so the string touches the bridge base and shorts out to it. Observe what happens when you try to tune the problematic string. Here's what should happen: • You strum, the respective string LED should start flashing red to indicate that pitch detection is active. • After 1 second, the LED should start flashing yellow (information is being sent to the neck CPU, and the RoboHead starts to move). • After tuning the string, the string's LED turns green to indicate the string is in tune. If not, try these fixes: • Remove the problematic string and make sure the string bar is not inclined in the saddle, and ...

The gear ratio in the RoboHeads is 24:1, so you need to turn the tuning peg 24 times to get one complete rotation of the string post. This is one reason why Gibson recommends using the Robot tuning options, especially when re‐stringing. Please see Sections 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8 for more information. Gibson LP STD LTD Manual v1.0 ...
