NGD!! Les Paul Classic Goldtop!

[ChaseB]

Finally bit the bullet and got a Les Paul, I've always preferred SGs....having borrowed and played a few on my old man's Les Pauls and never really bonding with them. Always preferred the feel of an SG! Finally took the plunge and went with a Les Paul that seemed to have everything I liked, thin 60's neck, 57 classic and classic plus in the bridge and the ABR1 bridge. Love the feel and tone of this thing, the sustain blew me away, the notes ring out so much longer than they do on my SG. Gonna add a cream poker chip and tall historic pickup rings and the nice shiny black control cavity covers instead of the weird textured ones Gibson has been using. But here she is...

Yep the locking tuners came with it! I love them! Holds tune so well, even with brand new strings!

Taller pup rings should look better on your Classic.

On the first pic, it looks like there's barely any string break-angle because of the topwrap...

Yeah there isn't much, but it's enough tension to keep the strings in the saddles!

Upgrade parts starting to roll in, still waiting on knobs, control cavity cover, tall pickup rings, nickel pickup covers, and a cream poker chip!

 

[ChaseB]

Got some parts on today! Gold top hats and pointers, cream output jack plate, cream poker chip from CreamTone, historic truss rod cover and solid black back plates! Only thing I'm waiting on now is my cream historic height pickup rings, nickel pup covers, and CreamTone pickguard!

 

[Paul G.]

Classy additions. I like 'em.

Very nice.

...let's talk about that Bird on the wall.

Just a 2016 Firebird V Traditional! Changed out the ceramic pickups to alnico 2 and 5 and 50s wiring with paper in oil and an orange drop capacitor! Love it!!

 

[ChaseB]

Got some more updates:

Creamtone pickguard, creamtone historic height pickup rings and some nickel covers for the 57 classics all went on!
