Uncontrollable GAS... NGD
« on: June 21, 2009, 11:18:21 AM »
OK, ok, I know, more money than sense, you don't need that much gear, you can only play one at a time etc.

But if you were holding this in your hands and someone says "I'll buy it for you" how long would you last? I struggled MANFULLY for at least five minutes (it felt like five minutes, was probably 5 seconds) before caving in to GAS.

This is a limited edition Gibson Les Paul Standard, built to 2008 specs in Feb 2009. Brimstone finish.








It plays really well, very powerful sounding, very crunchy in the mid range. I'm really loving this guitar!

I like the color. Reminds of those Harmony Rocket hollow bodies.

That is a stunning Les Paul! I really like the look of Limited Edition Gibsons, most of the ones I've seen really stand out from the crowd and look stunning!

Congrats on the purchase!

It's a great colour!  Somehow the black parts and gold hardware make it seem more like an LP Custom than a Standard.

We saw it on the website of The Guitar Store, liked the look of it so thought we'd go see it in the flesh as we wanted to go for a walk for some fresh air. We weren't planning to buy it, and were expecting it to play badly because whenever we find a nice looking guitar it never lives up to expectations. But this one did, and then Sue said she'd buy it for me...   :o How am I supposed to resist that?

The Gibson pups are actually really good, so I'm in no hurry to change them yet. But if (when) I do I'll probably go Mules. We have Cold Sweats in an SG, so it's worth trying something different.

Wow,

I actually rather dislike Les Pauls, but that beauty is the exception!

I've never seen that colour before but I think it looks great... very classy and more custom than standard. Nice one  :)
