MPrice082 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hey all. So I'm new to the forums and new to the Gibson Les Paul world. I got my brand new 2016 Les Paul Studio Faded T in ebony a week ago and I absolutely love it. Now, I am by no means a seasoned player. In fact, I only know most of the major chords and some pentatonic scales. I'm 34 and started at 16. But, I was not a patient learner. I wanted to play songs, not the instrument if that makes sense. Now, many years later, I decided to get serious and begin taking lessons. I am sitting ok financially and decided to pull the trigger on a Gibson because I couldn't beat the price in a color I wanted. I know one day I will be seasoned as many of you most likely are, but I wanted to take this opportunity now to own a beautiful guitar before prices go back up in the color I enjoy. I do have 2 other guitars that I have owned since I was 16. One is a Washburn Shadow Series strat that I had modified as a youth with a Washburn humbucker in the bridge spot and I also have a 2000 Jackson KS2 my father bought for me that I have kept almost flawless all these years. The thing is, the Jackson is too flashy for me now lol. Anyway, glad to be here and glad to own a great instrument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello, and welcome to this nice place in the web. I would like to congratulate you on your purchase, but there'a an unwritten forum rule here: Pics, or it didn't happen! Lots of members who love guitar porn, including myself. The memory space per member for attchments is limited to 500 kB only, not sufficient for a single hi-res photo. So it is best to do what we all do here, that is uploading to an account created at a cloud photo provider and pasting the IMG data into your post. Wanna see... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yesss! Congrats on your pretty Les Paul guitar, HNGD! Have fun playing her, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPrice082 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yesss! Congrats on your pretty Les Paul guitar, HNGD! Have fun playing her, mate! Oh I will definitely do just that. I honestly feel like I have never held a guitar before until holding this one. To compliment it, I bought a Marshall MG30CFX which it just sounds amazing through. My previous amp was a tired Crate 15W amp from when I was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
