NHTom Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Ok, Took a drive to my favorite guitar shop today and checked out all the goodies. NOT a good idea....lol. Checked out an incredible all silver 83 LP Custom......out of my current price range, but we'll see how long it hangs around. Also a 2012 LP Special that they had labeled as a "Les Paul Special Ltd."......anyone know anything about these? Wine red special with two humbuckers. normal LP shaped pick guard but it is flat mounted to the body.....really nice guitar. Old Fender blackface Super Reverb, Vox AC15, bunch of Blackstars. Charvel USA built tele style with two duncans and a Floyd........... Yup.......rough day.....lol. Don't know why I torture myself like that. NHTom
capmaster Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Yes, can confirm that. Guitar shops truly are danger zones, in particular favorite ones...
NHTom Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 Grabbed some pics.......... 83 LP Custom in silver 2012LP Special LTD (I believe it is actually a Guitar Center Special Pro) Both those ought to keep me awake nights for a while. NHTom

NHTom It makes me nightmares to see this nice Special LTD on a stand with uncovered black foam rubber cushions... :unsure:

Wine red special with two humbuckers. normal LP shaped pick guard but it is flat mounted to the body.....really nice guitar. NHTom Kinda looks like a LP junior Special humbucker... like this but these had binding.. I think that they did a few Special Hummer models http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Junior-Special-Humbucker.aspx
