desertlizard Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hello all, New guy here. I just bought my first Les Paul, and for the first time bought a guitar without playing it first. I went well, the new Tribute arrived in fine shape and plays incredibly well out of the box. This is my sixth guitar. It joins a 70's ES-335, a 2002 SG Special Faded, a random MIM Strat, a Martin D-15, and a Martin 12 string. Hopefully I'm covered now. There were a couple of surprises when I opened the box. For one the gig bag was much nicer than I expected. More like a soft case. I haven't seen anyone else's pictures that showed that. Secondly, I first opened the pocket and pulled out the materials and found the bench picture...of an SG Fusion Bright Cherry along with it's inspection card. I had a little anxiety as I quickly opened the bag to look for Gold. It was gold, and I later found the real bench picture and inspection card. It was inspected on 5/24/17. Fresh. I kind of feel bad for the SG person who didn't get their picture. Let's see if I got this picture thing down. Cat for scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dog Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Nice. That gig bag is an upgrade. I've had two of the standard Tribute T's and they came with standard nylon gig bags. Good catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a bit love or hate.. Some people find them noisy and maybe a bit too dark sounding.. That's why you need both P90 and Humbucker equipped guitars :) (as if we actually need an excuse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
