Incoming NGD

[TBurst Std]

Well got a deal on an item I have wanted for decades. You don't see them too often, and when you do, weight has/can be an issue. Played one back in Dec and it was almost 9.75 lbs. Others were heavier.

I have inbound a CS Gibson 54 RI Les Paul Custom in ebony. Yep the one with the staple pup in the neck and a p90 in the bridge.

Weight is 8 lbs 5 oz. That's 1 oz over 8.25 lbs!!!
and I got it for $1000+ less than normal new going price.

Should be arriving today.

That’s a beauty. I had one of those and I regret getting rid of it. Now that’s a fat neck! Yours is unbelievably lightweight. What a great find. Congrats!

 

[Midnight Blues]

What a beauty! Congrats, HNGD

and play her in good health!

I love the "Staple" in my '72/'54 LE!

Well, you scored on 2 counts, price and weight.

Congrats, and enjoy!

I saw a couple of those on the Wildwood site around 8.5 pounds last year and really had bad GAS. The $7000 price tag was the only thing that gave me pause. Well, that and the fact that I already have too many LP’s now.

BTW, this thread and the pending NGD thread should be in the Gibson Custom Pub.

I almost posted it there but didn't.

Found this at Sweetwater. 8 lbs 5 oz, so call it 8.25 lbs.
Yes the nearly 7K price tag can be daunting, but as I do some business with them, how about 5.5K and 4 yrs no interest?

Congratulations, a beauty.

Congrats and HNGD! It’s lovely!

And potentially another NGD coming up.

Got some serious play time today with the 54 RI LPC. A serious keeper. Sounded great, played great, but even more so, inspired to come up with some new licks.
