Johnny3j Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 My wife bought me a Les Paul Standard recently (I think its a 2017 but could be a 2018), very pleased with it! My last LP Standard was a 1990 & had EMGs, I never really warmed to it and ended up selling it. Here's the new one with its two siblings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Oh my!!! That is one sexy Lester! That has to one of the nicest flames on a Standard I have ever seen. Now, what is the story behind the box? How can I get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny3j Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Oh my!!! That is one sexy Lester! That has to one of the nicest flames on a Standard I have ever seen. Now, what is the story behind the box? How can I get one? Thanks Bill, its a great playing axe too :) My wife is very good with thinking up special things to make & do, this box is a good example, the images on it are sealed under 9 coats of varnish with a final coat of marine varnish, so very resistant to wear & tear. By any chance does she happen to have a sister? Nice guitars, too. Thanks for the the compliments, everyone! Steve, she has three sisters, but I got the best one HNGD! That's an unusual 137 Classic, with a Varitone. Yes, I've always wondered what the back-story is, an ES137 Classic - but with the Varitone usually only seen on the Custom model. Special order? How would I find out more about how that came to be? BTW, this was also a (birthday) present from my lovely wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny3j Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Johnny3j, your guitars are absolutely beautiful, and I like your pics you have shared with us all. Thanks! Thank you Chris, as a kid these were the kind of guitars I lusted after. Recently, the shop where I bought my first guitar, a 1965 Fender Mustang, closed after 87 years in business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
