bluesguitar65 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 WELL FOLKS, you are not going to believe this as I scored a second LP Custom!!! I was over at Norms Rare Guitars today and they had on old new stock 2006 Les Paul Custom that was in the back room for years. I guess they finally found it after all these years and I got for $2550 out the door with original custom shop hardcase. The guitar is brand new and was priced as clearance or used for $2595. Thanks Mark and Jordan from Norms Rare Guitar! I have a bad case of G.A.S indeed.

BigKahune Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Whoa! What a stroke of luck! Damn, yet another beauty. Two Customs inside of a day or two. Now that's some really serious GAS. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its brand new and they had it for $2595. I got it down to $2550 out the door. I don't think anyone would pass that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesguitar65 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 You did not just buy TWO Black Beauties. I could not pass up on the price they had it for. A "BRAND NEW" 2006 Les Paul custom that was sitting in the back room summer, hidden to be seen for "four" years. Old New Stock! Someone finally found it while they moving things in the back room perhaps. Good thing I went in there today, as some one would of bought it before me A new 2010 custom is about $3999 and I got her with tax, out the door for $2550, They had her tagged for $2595 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesguitar65 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Which one do you like better? They both sound different. The newer one has hotter pickups so it has more a modern tone. The early 70s sounds clearer. I may prefer the sound of the other one day then prefer the other on another day. Depends, as currently I prefer the sound my my 50s trbute goldtop with P90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Bone Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Unless I'm mistaken, the NOS '06 should have '57 Classic Pups, right? (I'd assume a + in the bridge position). If so, this is the same lineup I have in my Classic Antique. Love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson should be able to verify easily enough (if they don't see this or respond, you might want to call them to inquire). I read somewhere that they put the '57 Classics in Customs, and got the impression it had been so for awhile. Certainly could be wrong. Whatever they are, they sound good!

rocketman Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Congrats! It's good to see that you really play it too. Every guitar should get a decent amount of sweat on it. So what are you buying tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are you buying tomorrow? Thanks! I really don't clean my guitars to tell you the truth. The only time they get a cleaning is when I take them to my local guitar tech for setup and fret dressing. My tech would clean them, specially the fingerboard with all the crud. That is why, I seldom play my strats with maple fingerboards Well, I don't know what I'll be buying over the weekend, depends on what bargains I will find.

DOGGONE Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Bluesguitar, are you sure that mark wasn't drool instead of sweat? That's a great deal on a great guitar, by the way the swirl in the finish can be removed with an auto finish product. I use an auto detailer spray after a sweaty night's gig before I put my guitars away. It's god for keeping the finger prints off it also. Black shows up every detail, but it looks so nice.
