Lol that's a very specific pic posting criteria. Not sure how many responses you'll get with that.

That guitar looks lovely. How much does it weigh? It's hollowed isn't it? How does it sound?

Sounds like a thread you get on Harmony Central, with their 5 billion members who are mostly middle aged guitar collectors. I hate guitar forums. LOVE it here though.

Very nice 'Paul, my dad is after a lefty standard in the iced t finish, up to a 6 month waiting list though.

Still, I'd love a Les Paul Standard in trans black, saw Gary Moore play one and I actually drooled a little.

I wanted one of these so bad about a year ago. Thanks for opening up old GAS.

Kidding of course, it's a lovely guitar. I really like "dusty" finishes of the standard fadeds.

ohhh i wanted one too, but could never afford it, and i wasn't big on the idea of chambering. Hence my nice new Edwards. That is beautiful though!

I had a really bad example of those.

It looked nice, but I hated it.

If you are changing the nut - consider getting an earvana one put in - makes the LP sound so much better and much more in tune.

They do a drop in version for a 43mm wide Gibson or a 42mm wide neck (designed for the ESP range).

And they do them in both black and white from a material that is the same as Graph Tech use for their Tusq nuts

Here is one on my own LP

I'm changing the the standard nut with a Graphtech PT-6000. This nut is designed for Les Pauls and hopefully it will make the guitar staying better in tune than before. Everybody who has used a Graphtech nut says it's definately an upgrade, so I'm very curious.
