mud guy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Picked up a used Les Paul Custom from a local shop (Chinese EE07XXXXX)...really nice condition and a reasonable price with case. Here is a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mud guy, Congrats. Looks like brand new. The gold looks like it is great condition. Like the looks of the gold hardware on black. Unfortunately, the acid in my hands would eat it off in about a week. How's it play and sound? Looks like your Dot has some competition.

animalfarm Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Oh, Yeah - Definitely a CLASSY looking Guitar! My first GIBSON Les Paul (back in the day) was a Black and Gold hardware LesPaul Custom. Used to drive me INSANE with the fingerprints!! Just LOOK at it, it gets fingerprints! But NOW - it's an issue I would GLADLY deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and gold is an awesome colour combination, I've loved it ever since JPS used to sponsor racing cars in the '70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mud guy Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks...I am really quite happy with it so far. I sounds a bit different from my Dot, but I'll do a side by side comparison tonight. Sounds great clean. I changed strings and cleaned it up a bit on the weekend, the only oddity was a rather substantial amount of scratches under the pick guard...has anyone seen this before, I'll try to get a picture up next time I have the pick guard off. -Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those F1 cars. That American guy from Nazareth, Pennsylvania (also home of Martin) had a bit of luck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_edward Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hmmmm, an EE07, you should do yourself a favor and take off the back cover on the control cavity and scrape away some black, to (hopefully) reveal the wood underneath. Don't take offense but I've never seen a real EE07, in fact every one I've seen has been fake, it's the most faked Epi out there - black 2 pup EE07 custom - see my thread - "I bought a fake Epi... almost" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mud guy Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Of course I looked under the covers right away. Real solid wood. I finally was able to give her a good run tonite and this is a real sweet guitar. I can't believe how good it sounds clean...very clear and full. I was worried it might be muddy, but not at all. I bought it from a reputable dealer, so I could take it back if it was fake...but it looks so good and sounds so sweet, I don't know that I would ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the same, do not think buying from a reputable dealer is 100% foolproof (if the instrument was taken in on a trade as used). There's more than 1 documented case here in Canada of the nations largest retailer taking fakes in on trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
