truetone6 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I got this from a local store. It's a 1998 Les Paul Special. The color is "Fire Engine Red". It's hard to tell from the photos but is a see through finish,looks like it has a one piece body.It plays really nice,has a 60s taper neck that doesn't have binding but the sides of the fretboard are lacquered and all the fret ends are very smooth.

truetone6 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks for the posts! I think the pickups are P-100s. I used to have one of the Guitar Center Les Paul Specials and that one had P-90s.I also used to have one that was Gloss Yellow with an ebony fretboard.

pippy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Love the unusual colour! Very Sweet! I used to have a Fender 'Swinger' in black. I was conned out of it by an unscrupulous London dealership which shall remain nameless... Don't be fooled by anyone saying they're worthless! Especially in CAR. It was crap as a guitar but I still wish I had kept it. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
