gmac Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Congratulations! I also have wanted one my whole life and finally my wife gave me the green light for my 60th birthday and now my other guitars don't get allot of exercise. I absolutely love my Les Paul Standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahater69 Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Lol you too ehh. My wife actually talked me into buying mine as well I went in for an epi and she insisted I got the Gibson. I guess when we’re arguing I should remember that 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Welcome, welcome. Glad to have you aboard. You don't have to have thick skin here, but it helps. There's a lot of love to be found around these parts, along with friendly ribbing. Say, speaking of that, we really love guitar photos on this forum. Share some!! 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahater69 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 I tried to take better pictures but kinda difficult. Anyway great guitar I love it. Would a opted for the flame paint but was an extra grand. i actually paid a little over 2k for it then a week later sweet water had them for 1499 so I went into guitar center they refunded me 500. So for 1500 I feel like I won. it took me some time to get used to the push pull pots but since I have I love them. Same with the dip switches I know it’s very untraditional but I’m not hating. inhad to take it back though as I got it home plugged it in and it wouldn’t play. The jack soldering was bad, played for me in guitar center and for about five minutes at home then nothing. Easy fix. you’ll notice I have no selector switch knob thing but it was the best playing if these. also I was missing the photo that comes with it but got a sweet multi tool which is kinda cute but worthless for using. I mean it will work but I’m 46 shaky and the eyes aren’t what they used to be and I’m a guy with slot of tools so will use them. Still though was a cool piece of kit to throw in. I got the Chinese case it’s pretty nice to be honest surprised me, then I realized the lock was broke and chuckled. they told me in guitar center my case was lost so I’m not putting that on Gibson, who knows how long it hung in the wall. ot sounds amazing. The under wound neck coil is silky smooth it’s my clean coil. If I feel like getting my metal on the bridge coil is perfect. having the option to split or tap and pick the inside and outside coil is pretty awesome. all in all I highly recommend. It is my first Gibson I owned but I’ve played a bunch and would put this up against any I have ever played, just not as flashy visually but then again neither am I as far as thick skin I’m prior military I think I’ll be ok. Thanks for the welcome brothers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahater69 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 And Gmac that is a sexy beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarkwilkinso Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hmmm it's hard to tell. But when it comes to my thoughts, I think you should probably let it go and have a better time with different things than dwelling on this issue too much. If I were you, I'd let it go completely and not look back and move on with my life as everybody here should also do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahater69 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Yeah I never even contacted Gibson so you’re advice to let it go as we all should I don’t even understand, but thanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
