NGD: Yard Burst in the house!

[sinner]

Yard Burst #111 has come home to roost!

Absolutely wonderful guitar! Plays real easy, loud acoustically, super light at 8.2 pounds and a real looker.

Even without the Jeff Beck pedigree it’s a marvelous instrument, great wood, resonant, top construction and of course the first appearance of Gibson branded double white Custom Buckers since vintage years.

Sounds really, really good!

Sorry I’ll try from a PC later my phone said too large (and sorry for double post) I’m too clumsy to do it from my phone it seems!

Congrats, looking forward to seeing the full report.

 

[Midnight Blues]

Cool! Congrats, HNGD

and play her in good health!

Sorry folks can't seem to find the correct size to upload pics! I made them 1/2 as large and still no go. I'm glad playing guitar ain't as hard as uploading pictures!

Typically, sub-1MB size works for me.

Thanks, pic added!

Really a nice guitar! The most I ever spent on an instrument but when I saw it I knew it was special and decided to make it happen. Probably a good investment being a limited edition.

I own a Historic Makeover Dirty Lemon Standard and the neck Kim carved on it is just slight smaller but the Yard Burst feels very good in my hands! It is only 8.6 pounds and the Yard Burst is 8.2 and I find I like the light weight ones! It's got great sustain!

Looks great and nice weight. Aging good, not too overdone. Looks like that stop tail is down to wood. Congrats!

Yes, down to wood. Easy to play, great action, rings like a bell, I think I got a good one with perfect neck angle!

Here's a picture of Jeff Beck with the guitar that I've had hanging in my house for 25 years! Now I actually got the guitar, thanks Gibson!

Cool idea, I'll try to recreate that pic with the guitar! Now, where is my white ascot tie?

 

[sinner]

Some more pics, because even after all these years I still get excited over new gear!

Shown with my new Wildwood Spec 1964 ES-335 in Vintage Burst Gloss (they look so good together). An amazing guitar too, and only 7.29 pounds!

Also photo comparing necks on the new Yard Burst, an Historic Makeover Dirty Lemon, and a Wildwood Spec 1964 SG.

Finally, a picture of Wonder Woman with her Les Paul, because everybody looks better with a Les Paul!

Movie stars being typically diminutive in stature, that's probably close to scale.

It's called "Camera Friendly" as being smaller led to easier scene/camera distances and prop placement.

Now that we have wide screens I am indeed camera friendly...

Does anyone else here at The LPF have a Yard Burst?

 

[sinner]

Cool, I am one of the lucky few (only 130 worldwide) to have one of these rare Gibson Les Pauls!
