A add9 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hello all. Just wanted to share some pics of my new Les Paul Classic Plus in Manhattan Midnight Blue. It has the 60's profile neck I'm torn over installing the included pick guard. My first 3 Paul's all had them, however, I've always appreciated the Paul's without them as well. Either way, she's a beaut'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A add9 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Nice indeed! Thanks. My only issue at this point is ..... the 1st string tends to slide off the fretboard if not careful, especially while doing open string pull offs. Never had that problem with my first 3 Pauls. I am adapting rather nicely though, by changing my technique and approaching with more finesse. I think also, switching to heavier gauge strings, which I always do anyway, will make a positive difference too. I'm going to have it set up down the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A add9 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 That is one dam nice guitar bro, she looks good in blue. Thanks jaxson. Blue has always been a favorite color of mine, but not so much for guitars....until I saw this. Having said that, I'd love to have a Les Paul Standard in a solid, Cherry Red, as well. Message to Gibson.... Build it and they'll buy it. I've had Cherry Sunburst, Wine Red, and Black Les Pauls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's nice to know the option is there..... should some damage ever occur to the finish of that particular area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an Epi - Les Paul in Blue, but it was a solid blue. Then there was another in a Blue Burst, but I didn't see this exact finish....not that means anything. Anyway, Thanks much LPguitarman!
