....And I am in love....
I went down to the music store in Aarhus, that allways has about 6 different Les Pauls. I plugged some standards and classics in, and they just sounded thin, dead and didnt have any sustain
Then I saw a Les Paul Custom Classic.. not my favorite with the aged binding, but after playing it acoustically, I then plugged it in to a Marshall 1987X head, used a THD hot plate infront of it, and cranked it to about 6 (no body except a salesman was there) and it was one of the best sounds I have heard in my life.
It was rich, warm and fat sounding, good note quality, and a immense sustain.
I am so hooked up for it now, but I have a problem. My parents have made a saving up account for me, which I will be able to use when I am 21. But I must admit, that after trying this guitar, it is even almost as good as my Charvel. I really connected with that guitar, that I want to use my money for it. Hell, a friend of mine, who owns a lot of strats and teles from the 1950s and 1960s and who hate les pauls, said it was a great guitar.
I see it as a investment, as I will be able to use the guitar to make money doing music in the future, and because I really want a brand new kick-a$$ instrument for my stay at music school.
Anyways, what do you think of the guitar? Would it be a good purchase?
And, how would you persuade the old folks that it is a good investment, in order for me to buy?
Thanks.
Btw a picture. The only different is that it has a golden truss rod cover... I will change that to a black one..

When I was 19 I REALLY wanted a Gibby LP, but that would have been 3 months of work right there. Looking back, I'm glad I spent that money on school instead of a guitar, although I'd still love the guitar now.)
