GuitarJunkie Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was at a local shop saturday and saw a Les Paul I couldn't take my eyes (or hands) off of. I asked about trading in some stuff since I've kind of blown my guitar budget lately. He said a guy had just been in looking at it and went to have a coffee with his wife to think it over. He preferred getting all cash for it, but I could call monday and if it was still there, we could work something out. Long story short, it's home now... 2001 Les Paul Classic Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Very nice top. Congrats on it. Good to see that the inlays look to have aged some and lost a lot of the snot green they start out as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks guys. You should see the top in person. It's totally 3D. I still can't put it down. Even unplugged, it rings. And by the way, definitely NOT weight relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 What les paul is it? It's a 2001 Les Paul Classic Plus in Trans amber. I'm still finding out about this particular model, since the "Classics" went through several different versions from about the early 90s on. I've been too busy playing it to do much research. What I do know is it's a one piece, NON weight-relieved back, 60s neck, 490R / 500T ceramic pick-ups and ABR bridge. It came with the brown and pink case, all the hang tags, original receipt, and the original (NEVER installed) pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nice find.. Here is my 06 Standard Trans-Amber Not as much flame as yours Those Trans-Ambers and Rootbeer's are hard to find Yours looks great. I don't mind when the flame doesn't go right to the edge (on an original burst, that would have been covered by red anyway). It just has a more 50s/60s look to it. Although there are some originals with crazy flame on them, the nicer ones seem to be a little more subtle. They didn't go out of their way to select AAAAA tops back then.
