ID:	6082433 I had been on the search for a LP with a Floyd. I recently joined a band and quite a few of the songs we are doing, I use a tremolo on and also drop D tuning. There were a few on reverb, but i felt the prices were a little high.




    So i stumbled across this Mom n Pop online shop....Capitol Guitars Online. He had one available. We talked on the phone and I felt very good about the guitar and there was a feeling of trust.




    The original owner had done a few VERY NICE high end upgrades done to this particular LP Axcess.




    German made Floyd with FU TONE big block, FU string lock screws, FU nut, nut blocks, FU string lock blocks, FU pivots and pivot inserts, FU claw and springs!!!!




    This LP Axcess is a 2008 and in mint condition. Looked like it was hardly ever played.




    It arrived yesterday...absolutely perfect! Not hardly a scratch on it.




    So the first thing i did was block the trem for dive only and installed a EVH Dtuna. New strings, setup, etc. This LP plays so nice!!! And the fact that is only 8.5 lbs, is very appealing as well!!!




    The heel sculpting they did on this model is fantastic! It makes it much more comfortable to play in the upper register.




    It has a very warm tone...not ice-picky at all. I believe it has Gibson 490 pickups in it. It sounds great!!!

          A real beauty! A LP with a Floyd is something you don’t see every day.

            That's a beautiful guitar. I'll be looking forward to seeing it for sale soon in the Trading Post.

                Was that purchased from Capitol Guitars in Saint Paul? I've known those guys for years, and confirm that they're great to deal with.

Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.

                        Now that is an LP that I like...non-traditional, with a very unique top. Congrats on this cool guitar!

                          Looks like dark honeyburst to me. Tobacco burst would be black along the edges, like classic Gibson acoustics.
