tgifntx Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well the Ultra arrived today[biggrin] and just got in myself a bit ago. Dropped in a set of pups outta my LP Custom, Slight neck adjust and a fresh set of DiAdario's. Stretch-Hurry-Wait-Stretch... Got a couple shots and wanted to thank everybody for puttin' up with my quizzing, (pickups), And also thank one of our very own, "guitarticocean". Had a couple opportunities to speak with this gentleman and a nicer guy you couldn't meet. Sorry for my inabilities with photography#-o The Texas/Tennesse ref is the Utras travels... Thanks everybody!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Looks sharp. I like the open coils. That's my current favourite look for a Les Paul, some kind of burst finish with open coils. Zebras are even better, especially on a honey burst finish with cream plastics. Mmm. Just like this http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj91/mk2maniac/LesPaulOCBridgeSmall.jpg Needs a pickguard though. I wish Epi would make a satin version of their standard finishes, something less glossy. Something like the Les Paul Standard Mahogany, but in a nice burst instead of plain Worn brown or Worn Cherry. And at the same, low price of the Standard Mahogany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgifntx Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hey Swoop- Yes sir, The new pups, (enroute), are creme/black. After I put these other Epi pups in I'm kinda rollin' around the idea of putting the new Rockfields in my LP +top amber instead. I don't know, I'll figure it all out, I spoze... Thank ya' sir!

midiman56 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Beautiful guitar, tgi! My Ultra is my "go to" guitar ... five nights a week it travels down to the Vegas Strip where it can be heard playing "a little bit of country and a little bit of rock 'n roll!" Aside from setup, mine is still bone stock, but I've been thinking how nice a set of "zebras" would look against that cherryburst top! Hmmm ... future project, perhaps??? Enjoy that great axe, pard ... may all your notes be "twangy" ones! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
