Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

Very nice Les Paul. I've been "borrowing" a buddy's LP Trad Pro for the last 3-4 years...LOL. He knows I have it. If anything, it's keeping him from selling it until I can buy it from him.

My only acoustic came was lent to me so I could help record the backing track for a big show for the church choir. The process took a couple months and when I gave it back he was going through a "clear out all of the guitars I don't use" phase, so he gave it to me. It was a $400 Taylor Big Baby in pristine condition for free.

Maybe you'll get lucky too.

Beautiful. That's it. Just beautiful.

Very nice! Really like the top.

Is it the end? Most likely no...humans are hardly ever satisfied

It won't relieve you of your GAS, it will just relieve you on your funds!

That is a beauty, congratulations! Speaking from experience, though, GAS only goes into remission for awhile, it will be back.

Wow, that was nice of him to do that. A cool guitar for sure.

If I get that lucky with this, that would probably make he and I blood brothers..lol. We were bandmates for 11 years and still keep in touch.

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

It takes the gas out only until the wallet fills back up.

Really really nice flaming LP. Jelly.

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

That is a really good looking guitar, but I just have never had a need for a les paul. The seem overhyped to me, not terribly desirable. I know a lot of people say you need a lp and a marshall to get "that sound." However, I have found that my "that sound" is a super strat with a nice el34 hot rodded marshall gain type amp.

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

The gas never goes away because you can never, repeat NEVER, find your perfect guitar if it is made by someone else. To find YOUR perfect guitar, you have to make it yourself.

Actually, come to think of it, even then the gas doesn't go away.

I haven’t gassed for a guitar in years.

However, after years of neglecting all of mine, I am gassing for a bunch of luthierie-type tools lol

Another look !

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

That is gorgeous!! I wish you luck keeping the GAS suppressed.... I find new guitars are like a few drops of Beano.. GAS goes away for a little while.



LOVE the strap!!!!

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.

I gas for other stuff but really another LP. Mine is the only one I really need, regardless of mileage lol

Awesome guitar...I really like LP Customs especially their ebony fret boards and the block inlays. The control knobs are a bit fugly but everything else is righteous.

JBE, is that a Traditional or a Standard?

Regardless, it's gorgeous. One of the nicest tops I've seen that's not on a 59' RI. I too don't think that finding a great LP cures gas, but it does change it. Earlier this year I'd bought a killer looking Gary Moore LP Standard, and I loved it. It had a 50's neck, which I don't normally care for, but it felt so good. I was very happy with it. Then, I found a '57 RI that I fell in love with. When it arrived it too had a big neck, which I expected, but it has very small shoulders, which gave it the best hand feel lf any LP I've had.

My point is, it immediately rendered my Gary Moore LP irrelevant. No matter how good the GM felt and played, and it did, but it just didn't compare to the '57 RI. So now I'm much more picky about what I want. I'd like a US LP with a 60's neck that I want to have refinished in Candy Apple Red, but it has to have the 60's neck or the asymmetrical neck. I don't want a 50's round neck that won't feel as good as my RI neck. Other than that, I gas for a '59 or '60 RI.

So, my great '57 RI has sort of jaded me towards the standard run of the mill LP. My next is going to have to be another great RI or a USA with a 60's neck....or one that just has a great feel and sound. I know they're out there though, as yours clearly shows.

Congrats again on such a great guitar.

Its a Standard. Until i saw this one i didn't know you could get a AAAA top from Gibson USA. I always thought the was Custom Shop stuff.
Ive seen other 2012 Standard with similar tops. That year they were getting some really good figured Maple.

To each his own, I guess. To me, factory 45yr old appointments are never ugly.

Unless it’s an Ovation Breadwinner. That’s ugly.

A Les Paul tames the GAS? For a while, perhaps....

[Looks around and counts the Les Pauls - 1, 2, 3, 4....]

Re: Once you buy a nice Les Paul it takes the GAS out of you.



That’s a beauty. I have two lower end Les Pauls that I’ve tweaked to play and sound great, but I wish that they looked as great as yours does.
