Somewhere back around 2014 or so, I asked a buddy of mine (whom I was in a band with for a long time) if I could borrow his Les Paul Traditional Pro. It's a 2009 model. He's got several other Les Pauls and had tossed the idea around of selling it but I wasn't gonna let that happen until I could buy it. He knew I wanted it so all good. Well, with the sale of our house, and having some left over after taking care of other financials and moving in to the new house, I was able to make it officially mine. Being a good friend for a long time, he gave me a sweet deal. The BB3 got swapped out for a Super Distortion originally last year but after a gig in October, I decided to put a Custom Custom in there. Perfection! The neck pick up is the stock '57 Classic with the tone control disconnected. I much prefer plain tops and this burst finish reminds me of Ace Frehley's Les Paul in the early KISS years.

Thanks, all. When I thought back to when I asked him about "borrowing" it, I can't believe it was that long ago. He knows where it's been and that I've been playing it. It's been getting a lot of play time with my current band.Comment
