Stupid Les Pauls...

XSSIVE

OCDologist
I can't stop buying the damn things LOL.

i was trying to find a different 22 fret set neck mahogany guitar and i told myself no les pauls unless it's a KILLER of a les paul...so going by that i start the hunt for this mythical guitar that fit the specs i wanted....so what do i buy?

another les paul HAHAHAHA

a MONSTER of a flame top MINT 2004 Les Paul Premium Plus standard, and aside from the INSANE flame in the top and it being my favorte color, iced tea, it's a feather (for a paul) at only 8.6 lbs which is great for me since i am mostly a super strat player.

anyway, here she is (sellers pics) it gets shipped out to me on Monday via 3day shipping and i'll have better pics and a review then. i just couldn't wait to share what i feel is my personal holy grail les paul (monster flame, iced tea burst light weight).

seems to be a nice even grain dark fretboard from the pics which is great, just what i like!

also that pickguard will NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER go on this guitar so don't even say i should put it on because that would be just as bad as putting a floyd on it IMO, just sinful! :D i rather cut my left hand off and never play guitar again before i ruin that amazing top with a hunk of ugly plastic!! (can you tell i don't like pickguards on les pauls LOL)

man, i'm drooling looking at the pics and i can't wait to get my hands on it next week (wed or thurs).

so, anyone want to buy my black '99 LP standard (pic in sig), i don't think i'll need it anymore now :D

Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

You, sir, are a nut. :laugh2: That is a sweet looking LP. If it were a solid color, then I'd say put the guard on. Since it's got that gorgeous top, definitely leave it off.
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

Erik...yes i am crazy. i've never owned a flame top les paul before actually, this is my first one. i've always had solid color ones. i never found a flame top that spoke to me (that i could afford LOL) until this one. i think i may burn the guard just so no one could ever suggest putting it on LOL.

Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

LOL, now that's going a little extreme. Just leave it in the case with the rest of the case candy. It's better for the resale value.

Man, getting new guitars is always fun. Cannot wait to get my Tele.
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

yeah, it will stay in the case, i won't burn it, i'm not that crazy...perhaps i'll just smack people with it if they say it should go on though LOL.

Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

That's a better idea. I like that. Put "NO GUARD" backwards on it with something so when you smack 'em with it that's imprinted on their forehead...LOLOLOLOL!
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

That's gorgeous and I agree with no pick guard.
It would be VERY wrong to hide any of that flame!
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

I saw the thread title, and thought...How could someone use these words all in one sentence??:laugh2: Very nice axe, I'm certainly jealous!
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

thanks guys! i decided i'm going to go all out with it and use nothing but the best on it! tonepros bridge and aluminum tail, RS wiring kit and a set of nickel covered duncans (C-5 bridge, PG neck) along with some schaller strap locks as usual! it's going to start out sweet and end up KILLER when i'm one with it!!

Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

nice buy!!!!! You seem to be stocking up on some killer stuff in your collection......
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

That's a sweet looking ge-tar. Just be sure to thank the other Paul when you look at that top. :fing2:
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

I swear this man is a whore! LOL!

Good choice, I am getting a boner by looking at it! LOL!
 
Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

thanks guys!

LOL Dave...keep it in your pants!

Lee, i liked it too but the price was more than i'm willing to spend on one guitar. so, since i bought this instead of the Huber i can now also buy a singlcut PRS hehehehehe.

Re: Stupid Les Pauls...

Good Lord, yes, Dave. Keep it in your pants. Look what happened when you didn't...LOL You're gonna have a mini-me...LMAO!!! (which is cool BTW).
