Megafrog Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Let us know how it sounds. It is supposed to have a built in flange circuit on the tone control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 That's cool Sparky! Set's off the grey hair and shades. Hey, you're color coordinated. Now I have to look up Sully Erna. Sully was that big blue one in Monsters Inc. Congrats on a pretty cool unique LP Mr. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thanks, guys. She sounds really crisp and bright, and the built-in flanger is really, really neat. I love the kill switch too. If I can get caught up from cleaning-up after Christmas visitors, I'll try to record just a bit of it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 But man, is she heavy! Nine pounds. After playing a weight relieved LP, this is going to take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Congrats, it looks great. Your wife get you that? You're lucky. Yes sir, I am indeed lucky. We picked her out and ordered 'er from Zzounds a few months ago. 9 months same as cash, and so, she was delivered and then reposed in her original shipping crate in the back closet here since mid-October. She was uncrated and opened up for the first time on Christmas morning. Funny thing is, and it's not a big deal to me, but; She's a 2013 model. Brand new, and never taken out of the case since manufacture 4 and a half years ago, but it's odd that Zzounds never chose to advertise the age of all these Sully Erna guitars they were advertising a few months ago. I did some digging around, and it appears that the Gibson Les Paul Sully Erna Studio was built in 2012 and 2013. While the retail price was listed at $2,300, the guitar eventually seemed to be selling (with a case), at music stores for about $1400. Apparently they over-produced and under-sold, and so the guitars languished in storage for awhile. Gibson then re-badged the truss rod cover with Sully's signature on it earlier this year, and pushed them back out on the market as the Gibson Limited Edition Les Paul Sully Erna Signature, at a really good price. (I paid $804 for mine, with the gorgeous hard case of course.) Looks like they manage to sell most of them before Christmas, judging by what I'm seeing online, including all they had in stock at Zzounds. Odd history, but I truly do love this guitar. She's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megafrog Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 So you would recommend this? I saw one pop up for sale at American Musical Supply for $679 and am thinking about taking the plunge. Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
