NGD!!! Lots of pics

[WezV]

on the archtop guitars the les paul was styled after it makes a handy finger rest and place to attach a pickup/controls

[GuiTony]

I'm glad to see a pic with the pickguard removed - that pickguard just doesn't work for me, I think it looks much nicer without :)

Definitely.

I also love the maple (?) cap.  Looks good to me.

Now, just get some black p'ups in it ...

[Ratrod]

I've seen maple boarded LP's before, I never liked the look of them but this one looks stunning!

I like it better with the pickguard on. Without it, all that maple color is too overpowering.

It's begging for black covered pickups, isn't it?

[dheim]

it's waaaay better without the pickguard... some LP are better this way, some not. i don't know why but the only guitar that actually seems to need a pickguard beside aesthetics is my SG... it's full of plectrum hits, but i can't remember having actually ever hit it!

[Scotty477]

Hmmmm, where have I seen one of those before?

The look is definitely growing on me.  But there is something soooo '70s about it, and I don't really know why.

The finish reminds of me of the old Gibson Marauder - maybe that's it?

Congrats on the new guitar  :D

Yes!  But even more than that, the L6S!  That's what I was thinking of.  Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction.  :D

That looks a fine instrument... :D
I liked the commentary on the first set of pics as well :lol:

Congrats man!

Agile is new to me. They seem to be really well priced. Comparable to the Epiphone line I would assume? I found a few on ebay and they looked really nice. Better finish than most guitars in that price range.

Incidentally, what good does a pickguard actually do? I don't think I've EVER got the plectrum even remotely close to the guitar *below* the strings!!!!

I can't stand this, listen to the acoustic demo. It makes me cringe for some reason

Acoustic or Plugged in, they both sound naff.

I don't see the problem...  :?

(I did think the '59 sounded better than the new LP, though)

[Will]

He sweeps over 2 inches of the pickguard with the pick, can you not hear it?!

[Philly Q]

I can hear it, but (of course) it's only picked up because there's a mic nearby.  It doesn't bother me.

Maybe it's one of those chalk-on-blackboard things, it just affects you personally.  I get wound up by car horns, they make me lose my temper in an instant.

I love Paul's reviews. He always does a really good job covering the item and his playing is exceptional.

I want wall hangers for my guitars, but my cats would just see them as swings.
