VOS Les Paul!

finally got it! 58 VOS les paul thanks to coda music, they had 4 58's and a 57 to try out so i sat in there for hours making sure i picked the best one! It sounds unbelievable and plays like ive been playing it all my life. it was a lot of money but i could have paid a hell of a lot more so im happy as!

sorry about the pictures, lack of time and proper camera. the pictures dont really show it but the edges are less black and they have a sort of reddish tint to them, almost like bourbon burst, it looks great!

How much was it exactly?
And I like the finish :)

coda do them for 1800 and i managed to get another 60 off. im pretty happy with that price considering the prices ive seen elsewhere, ebay is a good route but i wanted to go and compare a bunch of them. it was either this one or an iced tea version but this one had a slight edge tonally.

Absolutely, you don't want to go spending that kind of money without playing the thing.  

Looks great! :D

Very nice. I keep looking for reasons to not get an LP and this hasn't helped!!
I think I hate being indecisive.

I'm glad someone asked  :wink: .  I've looked it up loads of times but somehow it never sticks in my memory.
