Hi.
Seen a few NGD's so decided to share. Playing guitar on and off for 20 odd years. my first was an epiphone LP100 my dad saved hard to get me as it was all i wanted. Still have it and will be spending a rediculous amout on pots and pups, relative to the actual value of the guitar. At the time it had to be a gibson and that was the closest I could get.
Since then ive gotten a tokai LP, a fender strat, an acoustic and just because of growing up, my playing has diminished greatly, with almost no playing over the past decade.
Well, im now in a position to scratch that gibson itch, not far off 20 years on from my epiphone. Spent a good part of a day in a local music store playing all their les pauls. Tried 3 50s standards, 2 60s standards, a modern standard, a heritage & a studio. This one jumped out at me. There were prettier tops on some, but im kind of a fan of plain tops and i was really after a good player, not a looker.
Anyway, here she is, only really noticed she has a fairly pretty top when the desk lamp shone on her by accident yesterday.
Plays beautifully, and for me at least, it has something the tokai doesnt, its just easier to pull riffs out of this.
if its any interest, its 9lb 6, on the lighter side, a little less than average ill guess.
Anyway, here she is, hopefully ill keep it up this time. if this doesnt encourage me to keep at it, nothing will.
