Saberslash Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I think I found and purchased a best Les Paul (Custom) I've ever tried in my life, it is ebony LP Custom 2022.. Plays perfect, sounds killer, definetly a keeper 🙂 But have you ever seen something like this, uneven binding line on Custom Shop level guitar? I find it funny, since it is built perfectly sound wise, setup is perfect, neck angle, all, but this small cosmetic flaw (s) is really strange.. If they just spent 15 more minutes it would be flawless. But hey, now I know what is my unique Les Paul Custom if I ever lose it in sea of other black LP custom 😄   Edited April 27, 2022 by Saberslash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Ahh man.. Thats nothing, sadly we have seen FAR worse on here... Id say it just makes it your guitar. All guitars that get played will pick up scratches and dents and stuff, no matter how hard you try not too. Just play it and enjoy it for what it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Looks to be a terrific guitar. The binding quiver may be unwelcome, but it wouldn't trouble me. I'm fastidious and demanding about sound and handling. Aesthetics not so much. Some players demand all three and that's fine too of course. Congrats and enjoy that HP.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) I love how marks and bad workmanship on a Gibson is always just nothing and deemed acceptable, to the others, but it's usually on someone else's guitar, not theirs.

Eracer_Team Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I don't think I would have even noticed that slight waver in the binding. Obviously you did .  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
