Tim Plains Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You may have seen it already elsewhere, but what the heck, I don't post here often. I told myself I wouldn't buy any guitars this year (other gear, yes, but not guitars) and was completely helpless when I saw this one for sale. I live in Canada, this was in Japan, even an ocean couldn't prevent me from buying it. LOL It's a 10th anniversary model for Junsei Guitars, a dealer in Japan, and I got it in April. Two months later and I am just loving it. I have (I think) 10 other Les Pauls, most with upgrades, but this one is perfect in stock form. 2014 Hand Select R9, Iced Tea, 8.3 lbs, love it. Color in the second pic is more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Congrats, Tim, on this beautiful catch! Honestly, either hues would match her gorgeous top, so I would love her either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Well, if ever I've seen an 'authentic-looking' Eastern Maple '59-style top that would certainly count amongst their number. Gorgeous! Nice to see you stopping by, by the way! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Nice guitar. Did you buy it in person or online? I've always wanted to go to Japan and check out the guitar stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Congratulations on that great find (You seriously are unsure about how many LPs you have? ) I've always wanted to go to Japan and check out the guitar stores me too. - I'd be like a pig in $h1t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hello Tim. Congratulations! I am not a fan of highly-figured bursts. I find them too much for the eye. So, I am always happy to see well-balanced tops, like on this guitar! Enjoy it with good health! Bence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Cheers guys, I did not go to Japan. It was shipped to NY State where I went and picked it up. I have around 25 guitars. With that many does it really matter if the number is 25 or 26? Same with the LPs. What difference does it make if I have 11 or 12? Once you pass 10, it's all a blur. They're all listed in my signature. I don't sit there and count them. Just play. Pup, I still have Pearly. A few gold tops and black Customs, too. A group shot? Oh Jeez...
