pippy Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (EDIT: I've just re-read this first post and had to make an edit because I said 'off' looks better when I meant 'on'!!! What a ****!!! Sorry about all the confusion that follows as the first dozen or so replies read the original text...) Well, There's not much more to show, really, so I just did a PG on and off to prove on (edited!) looks better... The second shot is just to show the light-ish back colour (serial number has been, erm, digitally re-mastered). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Shes beautiful pippy....Youre a man after my own heart. I love as much flame as I can get. In fact, our guitars are very similar in pattern.....except the colour. lol Excuse me for posting in your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 She's a Beaut! Call me weird, but that particular guitar looks better with the pickguard on. What does the "5" denote on the serial number? Custom Shop? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks, Guitarandfeather. What does the "5" denote on the serial number? Custom Shop? Hmm... It's a LP Classic, therefore it means it was made in 1995. I prefer 'on'; mainly for comfort (as a finger rest) but also visually. The one exception, visually, would be on a 1954 Custom.

pippy Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 That one in the middle is gorgeous! Cheers, Nathan. It's a 1991 '1960 Classic' in Vintage Sunburst. For a while it wasn't getting played at all as the nut had been cut too deep but I had a local luthier cut a new bone nut and after he set it up it was a revelation!

Pippy' date=' the new one's a beauty, the other 2 ain't bad either!!. Have you had a chance to get the wiring looked at yet? [/quote'] Thanks, stevef. As it happens I was hoping to get a soldering iron today but things got a bit busy. Perhaps tomorrow... I don't really want to talk out of turn but, from what I've heard from the plugged instrument so far it hasn't reflected what I would have expected. Seymour Duncans have a fine reputation but, so far, the '57 Classics have them well and truly aced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
