MPrice082 Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Hey all. So I'm new to the forums and new to the Gibson Les Paul world. I got my brand new 2016 Les Paul Studio Faded T in ebony a week ago and I absolutely love it. Now, I am by no means a seasoned player. In fact, I only know most of the major chords and some pentatonic scales. I'm 34 and started at 16. But, I was not a patient learner. I wanted to play songs, not the instrument if that makes sense. Now, many years later, I decided to get serious and begin taking lessons. I am sitting ok financially and decided to pull the trigger on a Gibson because I couldn't beat the price in a color I wanted. I know one day I will be seasoned as many of you most likely are, but I wanted to take this opportunity now to own a beautiful guitar before prices go back up in the color I enjoy. I do have 2 other guitars that I have owned since I was 16. One is a Washburn Shadow Series strat that I had modified as a youth with a Washburn humbucker in the bridge spot and I also have a 2000 Jackson KS2 my father bought for me that I have kept almost flawless all these years. The thing is, the Jackson is too flashy for me now lol. Anyway, glad to be here and glad to own a great instrument!

Have you got any photos to share? If you need help on this; just say so. Gibson accounts have very limited space for photos, so most of us use things like Photobucket.
