JasonCO Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Well the day finally came and my new LP Custom arrived purchased of ebay........ it appeares to be spot on apart from a small blemish in the clear finish just behind the stop......thats what you get buying sight unseen, you cannot see it in the pis..but I know its there. Set up was a dogs breakfast fret buzz, neck out , etc spent the first few hours adjusting, but the ation still not right so will have to spend some more time on it...it was supposed to be brand new but i'm not so sure, had the stickers on but that does not mean much. Anyhow other than that it seems like a good guitar, this is my first LP and it plays and feels alot different than my SG so its gonna be fun getting used to it Some Pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderstruck507 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I was the same way when I first got my LP. Now I play it about 90% more than my beloved SG. I must admit thought that's more for tone than feel. The SG is more harsh and not as vintagey even though they have the same pickups and the covers on the SG should technically cut down on the highs...

JasonCO Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 The tone is way different for me as my SG has Iommi pups and they have a good puch, but I like the sound of the LP like averyone says the tone has a more vintage feel....although if I really feel like thrashing out I think the SG is the way to go ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvyellow Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL guitar! That has to be the very best looking gold hardwared axe I ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderstruck507 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL guitar! That has to be the very best looking gold hardwared axe I ever seen! its definately up there for my opinion as well...I don't like gold nor those type burst finishes personally...but put them together and it just kinda "pops" in a classy kinda way I'm diggin' it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospero Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That is a gorgeous guitar. Puts my Standard Plus-Top to shame. Hmm... I wonder what it would take to mod mine to look something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwillow777 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Congrats - very nice. I'm not a big fan of gold either, but on some finishes it just looks very classy, and it does on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carverman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Congrats on your LPC burst . Setup and customization is pretty much the norm with these. I haven't stopped tinkering with mine since I got it last summer. A great value and once setup with whatever p_ups, bridge and strings you like, you can get a pretty nice tone from them. (I'm trying to get some long sustain out of mine, right now). It's amazing that after over 50 years of refinement on these, some still prefer to tinker with them, especially on the new ones.

dcooper830 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Congrats on that!!! Beautiful!!!!! I have the Cherry Sunburst version of that guitar and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonCO Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Had a good 2 hour session on it last night and I'm thinking I'm gonna love this guitar...just feels so comfortable to play for long periods and it does't want to keep diving for the floor like my SG. Once I get the set up right it should be awsome. I agree with you guys I wasn't over keen on the gold hardware....didn't like it on the black, but it just kinda belongs on this guitar, I think the chrome would take away from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
