Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
Thanks for the props, guys. It did turn out great. Although the finish came out very glossy, the finish is thin and hugs the wood, so it shows a bit of grain and pore. Has a very organic look and feel. Really the polar opposite of the finish on my Tele--which is a really nice finish, but smooth and hard as glass.
I've been playing it a few months now, and am finally dialing it in. It has a very focused, open tone. I find it is a pretty good guitar for higher gain work.
