Picked up a sleek new axe last night. These are worth their weight in gold. A little heavy (which I like) but I can see how others wouldn't like it. Other than that it has some fabulous sound and plays like a dream. Top notch American craftsmanship right here.

    They are awesome sounding guitars. My guitar player in my band ( 12 years ago ) played a gold top through a vintage twin or a Vox and it was awesome.

    Enjoy it.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

    I will, now I just gotta get up the motivation to move all of my gear, including the home theater into a different/better room. I'm dreading it since I have a whole recording setup too that needs to be moved. :(

    Beautiful! Glad you're digging it.

    I bought my first LP in '72 (still have it) and have picked-up two more along the trail since then.

    Beautiful. And thats my preferred color combo, black with silver hardware. Cant stand gold on black, yech.

    They are a bit heavy but man do they play like butter. Gotta love lessie's no matter what your favorite's are (im a fender man myself).

    At the moment my uncle has a vintage custom shop he play's through a mid 60's Marshall plexi head and Mcab. Tone to die for i tell ya...

    I owned a Les Paul Deluxe in the 80's in tobacco Burst. I loved the guitar except the way I felt after playing for a few hours.
    The Studio models seem lighter then the one I owned. They are great versitle guitars and play fantastic.

    Yours is beautiful. Nice choice.

    Good luck with her.

    If I didn't have a limited choice I would have gone with the Silverbust. Hands down the most beautiful guitars ever, in my opinion.

    That's a 1968....I didn't feel like spending that many thousands of dollars for the new Les Paul Classic Customs just to get Silverburst. This one broke the bank enough.

    Nice choice Demi..........Tone monster no doubt, they sustain forever. The weight of an LP cries out for straplocks on a 3-4 inch leather strap, to protect your axe and back and watch those zippers and belt buckles!

    Very nice indeed. I'll have to pick up one of those one day myself. I have myself a strat and a epiphone sheraton II (which is my favorite). I also made one and am working on another. I also have bunch of crap (and old ephiphone, a few acoustics, classicals, assorted basses). The only problem is that I play like crap, but at least they look good hanging on the wall.

    Enjoy it (and take care of it!).

    Yes, a great looking guitar. My LP Classic, vintage sunburst, was the daily player here for quite sometime until it was displaced by a parts-built Strat.

    Sorry for the stock photo. I tried to grab a pic of it this morning and my digital camera batteries need a charge. My 5-year old gave me the laugh of the day. She saw it in the case and asked "is that Mommy's guitar?" I replied "no, why do you ask?" She said "because it (the case liner) is pink and fuzzy." :D

    Okay, batteries working:
