Les Paul Overhaul

Over the course of the last month I have been working on my 2005 Les Paul Standard. The bridge had started to collapse. So I ordered a new Faber USA bridge and light weight tailpiece. The finishing touch was a new set of Antiquities. I have never been so happy with this guitar. It feels and plays great... and the tone is exactly what I wanted.

Nice axe. Antiquities are special - great choice for a Les Paul.
Put a Faber bridge & tailpiece on my Moderne.
Noticeably better than the old hardware.
 
Thanks guys. Technically it is a honeyburst. It’s a 2005 Standard that my wife bought me for our 10th anniversary in 2013. Yes, I have an awesome wife. :)

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was the iced tea, desert burst, or honey burst. Can't always tell from pics. But I love all those colors and yours is no exception. Glad you're lovin' it.

Well, my wife gave me a Fender Custom solid ash Strat, a Jazz Bass with a sienna burst curly maple top, and an Elliot Easton signature Gretsch Jet for one of my birthdays. Not that your wife isn't awesome, she definitely IS!. Mine is just awesomer. Yes I'm bragging. (Plus, she lets me keep making custom guitars even though I already have over 50 guitars).
