  1. Up this page a ways is my Iced Tea Trad+. I sold it in pursuit of an R8 that didn't work out. With the end of year blow outs I didn't have to suffer without for too long. I got a Gold Top. Here she is with a few cosmetic changes.

  2. It came with the chip crooked? Just curious.

     

    3 more days and my blue swirl will be here! I'm chillin in an Oklahoma casino huffing into a paper bag cuz I'm so anxious to see it! -Rod-

    I bought it used, but barely touched. The switch was actually upside down when I got it. Yes, that led to some head scratching for a few minutes. The nut on the switch was very loose. I must have rotated the chip some while tightening and didn't notice. [unsure]

  3. Thanks everybody. I bought the guitar on ebay a few months ago. It was described as perfect, mint, flawless and is not, but is well worth what I paid and in pretty good shape for its age. I cleaned it, replaced the G string tuner, put on the speed knobs and it's just a great player. I'm so glad I kept it! The speed knobs were temporary. I have a set of chrome insert top hats, but haven't put them on.

     

    Here's a shot of the back that shows some of the worming:

    The back and the edges are the worst parts, but the faded finish hides marks well and I grin like an idiot every time I play it.

  4. I just got a Les Paul traditional Pro at Guitar Center last Saturday and all that was in the box was the warranty card. Didn't even get the strap locks that are supposed to come with it. Working on at least getting the locks.

     

    The guitar was in a taped closed Epiphone box that I watched the salesman open. They can't find any Epi strap locks in the store. Is GC removing this stuff at a warehouse somewhere?
