Dave F Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 After a UPS fiasco, this finally showed up today. Too cold to take outside for pictures so here's some from the dealer. Guitar is perfect. Looked it over from head to toe. Plays and sounds great. Usually not a fan of gold hardware, but I like this one. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J185cat Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 drool! I was sitting here playing one of mine and you had to go do this. Seriously, that is awesome, congrats👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Looks amazing. Ready to go on the road with the TCB band. Good idea to have the b/w pickguard- that thing would just disappear. What's with the gold (?) bridge pins? Happy NGD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Very distinguished looking instrument, suitable for orchestra pit work in a tuxedo. Brass pins are original equipment? Odd choice. Pins swaps should make for some interesting tonal variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silversurfer Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Stunning. The Les Paul Custom headstock inlay is a nice touch. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I really like this model. Very classy and like a Les Paul custom in look. I like this kind of customs/limited style guitar a lot more than the crazy lime green colors etc they did a few years back. Lovely!

egoidealmusic Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I'll be really curious as to what you think of the brass bridge pins--how, if at all, you think they affect the tone. A real beauty! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J185cat Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Okay Dave. How does she sound? To early to get an accurate opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still in the honeymoon stage, but I'm really impressed. If I feel the same in a month or so, there will probably be a dozen guitars being moved on.

egoidealmusic Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Can't wait to hear a clip! From your extensive history playing Gibsons, I just wondered if you could tell a difference. I remember the first time I realized the difference that different pins made (tusq, bone, ebony) and I was always curious about the metal pins. Have seen videos of the Martin ones and it is a noticeable difference. Congrats again on a gorgeous guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
