My new/old (however you want to look at it) Greco 1978 Les Paul Standard MIJ in tobacco burst.
It is the best guitar i have played and the best looking guitar, neck is perfect for me and it's really comfortable, sounds great even with stock pickups.
Came to a grand total of £350 + £20 next day postage including gig bag.

Pics ahoy!

that looks like a tasty les paul crazy_joe!

i'd be tempted to upgrade the pickups, but if its sounds ok you're probably wise to enjoy it as it is for a little while at least.

cheers :D, yeah in the future perhaps a set of mules or something but i'm pretty happy with the ones in there now which is good because it saves me a lot of money :lol:

I love that guitar the tobacco sunburst looks great. If I ever get a les paul I'm definately gonna get it in that colour.

Haha yeah, this les paul is awesome so i don't see how much better you can improve it by. They certainly can't be worth all the £1000's more.

How does it sound with the "chambering"??

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #14 on:** June 29, 2007, 06:53:26 PM »

It sounds awesome, though i don't have another les paul that isn't chambered to compare it to so i wouldn't know what it sounds like unchambered haha. My Epiphone was an alder bodied les paul not mahogany :(
