Why do I have expensive hobbies
 
If owning two cars isn't enough, I had to go out and buy one of these and put myself further in the poor house...

It's a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s neck. They just discontinued them and I've been wanting one for a LONG time. I've been playing a MIM Fender Strat for the last 13 years, so I figured I should end the wait and get one while I still can. My cousin is good friends with a guy at Robbie's on 46, so I was able to get a really good deal on it. I picked it up on Thursday and haven't been able to put it down since. It's everything I've ever dreamed of.

Very Beautiful guitar John!

The LP, esp in sunburst is just so iconic - and sound so nice. I wish I did not posess useless fingers - all they can do is useless stuff like everything else. :).

What do you guys think... should I put the pick guard on or leave it off? Been toying with the idea.

BonzoHansen 09-07-2008 08:30 AM

Leave it alone looks killer as it is plus then youll be putting holes in the body that you cant undo. Sweet Axe Gibsons ROCK!

Jam 09-07-2008 12:21 PM

pretty sick, like the wide neck to it. But i'll stick with my Schecters,

Yeah, that's the one caveat of it. And I wouldn't trust myself drilling holes in a guitar like this. I'm going to leave it off for now.

Throw Jimmy Page on that list, as well as one of the dudes from Pearl Jam.
