So, I did it. I splurged big and got myself a used 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Was at my local mom/pop store just last week and mentioned to them that I was interested in grabbing one (although I didn't mention colour). Three days later, they phoned me up and told me they had just gotten the sweetest modern era Standard from a long time customer of theirs.
Funniest thing was, it was in the exact colour that I had been looking for over the last 5 months on Craigslist etc... To top it all off, I was expecting to hear about getting a summer grant that I hoped to spend part of on said Les Paul the day they called. Alas, I had to wait a couple more days to find out that I did indeed have the funding, but today, I got the good news, and I got the Les Paul!
If you're ever in Seattle, stop at Emerald City Guitars. Best folks ever - genuinely passionate about guitars, not on commission, and incredibly helpful. They also threw in about $100 of goodies on top of the LP including strap locks, a ton of extra picks and strings, a T-shirt, and some straps.
