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.

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

If you have to ask it doesn't matter to you.

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.
