Title: Should I make this Les Paul mine?
Post by: March on July 11, 2006, 07:01:18 PM: That is the question I would like your advice on, although I will warn, my mind is 99.9% made up, I want it!

THe low down is that it's a Gibson Historic Custom Shop model, semi hollow. Resonates like crazy and although it needs a decent setup, you can just tell that this is a good LP.

However, the colour is unusual, although that is one of the attractions. That and something I can put a set of Mules in!

Post by: Ratrod on July 12, 2006, 11:34:33 AM: Probably way too expensive and I don't like the color combo.

Better get a Gretsch Jet.

Post by: BleedMarshall on July 12, 2006, 03:12:49 PM: It has a certain something I like. I might have it repainted later, and possibly change the pickguard, but I would buy it as long as the price is right for it.
