Yikes New Les Pauls Day
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:12:43 PM »
So I had a fair bit of money saved that I was going to use to pay off a potentially bankrupting business debt  - anyway, the said debt did not materialise, so I had a some money to blow.

I think I might of gone over the top as a I put some savings together with the debt fund to get a LP Special DC and a Custom shop LP 59 Standard in Bourbon burst - Haven't got either yet - delivery is on Thursday.  I must confess that given my abilities the second purchase (the custom shop) is OTT , its just I am so relieved that I am not going bankrupt AND that the potential liability never attached to me so I thought I would celebrate.

Nice one (or two) Elliot!  The BKP forum continues to spend the UK out of recession!  :D

I love the colour on the LP, there's almost a hint of violet/purple in the burst which is really unusual.

Congrats - I like the look of those DCs. Actually, I like the look of quite a lot of guitars!

I was going to get the same DC a couple of weeks ago, but missed it by a small margin.... one day!! (you'll have to bring either of those to the next BKP meet :))

They both look great!

The only thing I don't like about the doublecut LP Specials (and SG Specials) is that the pickups are a bit too close together.  They might as well fill the gap with another two frets!

It's because the joint is not very deed and not very large and when they made with neck pickup closer to the neck, it had problems of braking... It's shown on the building book of Melvin Hisc--k...
Agreed about more frets and more wood on the joint :)

The Custom shop LP 59 Standard in Bourbon burst looks fan-bloody-tastic.  :P
