Joe Perry Aged #018 Pics added

First off these pics stink, The one day there is no sun in Arizona is the day I need to try and get a few pics. I will try again tomorrow for better light. The top on this one has a lot of figure at different angles Kind of on off type of top. The Biggest thing I first noticed was when I was tuning it is how it vibrated so much in my hands and when I strummed it un-plugged it was really loud and rung out. When plugged it in it sustained for what seems like forever. I have to agree with what has been said already that the neck pickup is big and bold and not muddy at all. I compared this one with my other R8s and there is something about this guitar that is very different in a good way. I was worried about the neck sense I have always liked Chunky full R8 necks and I have to say after 30min or so with this neck I really like it. It will take a little more getting use to. The aging is so cool its a lot more than I expected.

Really cool guitar... The November Rain video was what really got me thinking about Les Pauls and bursts. Loved that color ever since. Yours looks awesome :salude

This pic was taken by my dad in 1978 live bootleg tour Giant stadium I was 12 and have seen them 45 times sense. To bad he is not playing the 59.

She is a beauty. Congrat!

Also, it looks like Murphy is willing to razor-check the back for the Aged not signed models for this particular run.

At one point, I used to own one signed/aged and one unsigned/aged Pearly Gates LPs, I can confirm that the aged unsigned Pearly Gates run of LPs do not have razor-checking on back and side.

And it was the same thing for the Jimmy Page #2 LPs.

The color on that plastic looks nice in those photos...are they noticeable lighter/less pink that in years past, or is it just the photo?

 

[Les-Zombie]

The binding color seems to be different than my other reissues.

The perry is checked on the back and sides, but not on the back of the neck but there is a lot of aging there.

That's a great-looking one. Like I've said in the Perry thread, I think Gibson did pretty damn good with the top selection for these. Waaaay closer to the original than some of their other Sig runs.

That's one good looking guitar Joe! What is the neck profile like?
I know you prefer a club...LOL
