I've been having some major GAS lately. So, I decided to go to GC to mess around with some guitars. I've had a lot of midrange guitars from Schecter C1 Classic Vine of Life to ESP LTD Deluxe EC1000, but never had a solid, legit guitar.........well until now that is.

I didn't expect to walkout with one so soon. I just wanted to jam some out. I had plans of hopefully getting one this month. I wanted to move some guitars first before I got this.
Sometimes things don't go as plan.

Major props to my fiance who wouldn't let me walk out of the store without this..........I'm serious she's like you want this? I'm like ya I really like it. She then proceeds to pay for it and tells me to get her back later. Seriously I'm the luckiest man.

I actually found two. The other one was way out of my price range, hahaha. This one was as close to the standard as I could find. I checked out the silverburst studio. Tone wise/finsh wise was nice. Didn't have all the upgraded electronics though. Plsu I didn't like the fact it had hallow spots. Not to mention it was half the weight. My back is going hate me, but my ears are going love me.

I found out that there are a lot of Les Pauls out there (Epi, PRS SE, PRS, ESP, etc) but there is only one true Les Paul.
 
Re: NGD (Les Paul Content).

Nice choice!

The zebras look great w/ that finish!

Congrats on the guitar & the great fiance!
 
Re: NGD (Les Paul Content).

Only wish the finish was more flamed more like the Standards or Schecter/ESP type. I do like the grainy finish on the back. It looks like it was originally set out to be a Standard but midway through they were like %^& it, it's a studio.
