I tried to convince myself that my Epiphone was the only Les Paul I needed...I failed

I tried to convince Aceman to send me his Les Pauls, he said "No, no, no"

I need to work on my methods of persuasion.

EDIT: I didn't post this until late in the day because I was playing it. I didn't write much so I could get back to playing it.

8.2 lbs, beautiful top, plays effortlessly, sustains like no other guitar I've owned. Hardware has been aged despite it not being a Murphy.

I drove to a few different stores in the last few days and played all the USA Standard '50s, R8s and R9s at each one and this one out-shined the rest.

Gorgeous axe. Congrats

[Mincer]

Well, that certainly does not suck!

[playas]

Nice!

Well I did subtly suggest to Ace that he should rid himself of those LPs. I tried.

Gorgeous axe. Congrats

Thank you! It sounds as good as it looks. At 8.2 lbs it's easy on the back.

Well, that certainly does not suck!

It certainly does not. I would have written more in the main post but I couldn't stop playing it.

Nice!

Deep down we all know Ace still prefers LPs to Teles, I think he's trolling us.

Man that's a gorgeous LP. Almost as good looking as a couple of mine. Ha, ha.

[Securb]

I love the top!

[ArtieToo]

Sweet! Enjoy.

Now that is simply stunning, may YOU serve IT well! Awesome….

Congrats! Looks nice.

Wow, that's a proper Page #2 burst. 8.2 beats my 8.6. Nice score.

Thanks. I'd say it's prettier than your root beer LP and about par with your cherry burst.

I love the top!

You and I both

Sweet! Enjoy.

Thanks Artie. I hope you're well.

Sad news for my new burst, it's unlikely to ever grace a stage at Reading or Wembley. Good news is I will take good care of it.

Thanks. I was most picky about the weight and the first one I tried (which brought on the GAS) ended up being the lightest one available. Would've taken any of the finishes but I'm glad to have it in washed cherry.

8.6 lbs is still very reasonable for a solid Les Paul.
