of Billy Gibbons in a guitar mag and he was
holding one of these. The best I remember the
controls were straight though.
 
I loved that it was so clean that I'm going to build one
if I can build the pup for it.
 
I had an old Jap made Strat with a single HB on it that
was a fantastic guitar.
 
I wish the LP didn't feel so small to me. I may enlarge the
body and go with a longer scale length.
 
Can ya believe that price?! What is all that money for?
I'll be sure to put "custom" on mine lol.

"What is all that money for"?

There is a surtax for being stupid enough to pay that apparently. While it's a nice enough looking guitar, there is no way it's worth that kind of money to me. I have owned my Les Paul for close to 15 years and I like it well enough, but I wouldn't buy another new Gibson anything with the prices they are asking. It's just ridiculous IMO. But as a wise hustler once said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public".

They probably give them to him Bapu.

I wish I had kept all my old Les Pauls Randy.
I bet I could buy a lot of nice wood for that kind of surtax.

I'm certain it's a carve top but the photo of it verticle it appears
to be a flat-top. I really like seeing it like that.

I had a '59 Melody Maker with a P-90. It was cool but seemed
to much like a toy...I set it up for slide and played it for a short
time before trading it off.

I have friend who (tongue in cheek) says; "He's rich. He must be dumb. We can probably get a lot of his money away from him."

P-90s? I have P-90s! This was at my old house.



Here is one of her sibings (a better picture than mine, but they look almost identical)... I can't seem to post the pic so here is a link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/petelacis/3266145375/

Mine is #17. It was the first year for the Suhr LE series. He made 35 of these. It sounds and plays as good as it looks... maybe better.

Looking at these old pictures makes me realize I need to get off my butt. I had things set up over at the old place. I'll post a few more pics of my old room.

I think it was SRV that said, "funny when I didn't have anything everybody
wanted something and now that I have something everybody tries to give me stuff".
