Murph Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 My new honey. Set her up Christmas day, new Ernie Ball 10's, (2221), lemon oil for the fretboard, intonation barely needed tweaking, neck is very nice. Gigged her, left the 339 at home so as not to have an option other than the SG (backup). Man, I forgot how much hotter those pickups are, compaired to the 57 Classics. The difference is unreal. Fretboard availability not as big a deal as I usually b!tch about when praising doublecuts. Let me say, 15 years without a Les Paul was too much. This babe has moved in, and the 339 will get the respect it deserves. Best of luck to ya'll..... She's leaned up by my bass rig. Meet the new Workhorse.....

Gibson4life Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Looks great Murph,I used to own a Studio and man, if you're looking for a workhorse, you got it. I had mine for 12 years and sold it to pay for my R8. Have Fun, cause Studios will last you a long time if ya take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 if you're looking for a workhorse' date=' you got it.[/quote'] That's what she was hired for....... 2010 looks to be very busy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Nice Studio' date=' Murph... congrats![/quote'] Thanks. I'm now a big fan of the Chambered Les Pauls. I played a Standard the same day, and for 1 K more, could have brought it home. It was very sweet, but I'm gigging small clubs in the Heartland. To me, this is a guitar to make many thousands of dollars with. I'm tickled sh!tless about this guitar, as a bar gigger. You should see it in the lights! Thanks gang...... Murph.

AidanBax Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Congrats on the new guitar. I really like the silver hardware, it looks better than the gold in my opinion. *edit - with that particular finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loneguitar Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Merry Christmas Murph, looks alot like my '95. Sweet enjoy her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Once I finish this dumble style amp I'll probably head to Nashville to drop it off since it doesn't look like their band is headed to Colorado this next year. Hmmm I take 70 to St. Louis then I go south right thru S. Illinois on to Nashville... Might have time to stop in and plug her in. Probably during the summer months.
