Nonsequitur Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I had been waiting for this to come, and the knock finally happened! My wife even set up a chair near the door this morning, as a joke... I am so pleased I am posting this everywhere! Here is the New Gear/Guitar, my first Les Paul with binding! I know the NGD threads are a dime a dozen, but the best NGD posts are when you get to post them! Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh dear, that's classier than I expected. Binding? you went all out. That's a full bore, all out STANDARD, complete with everything LP. Is it your first flametop? If so, that's a rite of passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first Les Paul was a 1993 Wine Red Studio, which is a fantastic guitar. I was going to order a 2013 Alpine White Studio when this Standard caught my eye, so to speak, and I fell in love with the idea of being able to get a Translucent Black Standard!

pippy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wow! That is one VERY classy looking guitar! Many congrats and a fine choice. Is the mahogany part of the guitar black? It's not quite clear in the snaps but if it is then that will look very good indeed IMHO. And I like the choice of colour for the plastic parts. Are they cream or pure white? Ditto the binding? (Although I can't help wondering what it would look like with a set of black/chrome insert hat-box knobs.) Due to my playing style I've always been a p'g on guy but if I had a beauty like that I'm not sure I wouldn't try to learn to do without... Very Very Nice! P.

Nonsequitur Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thank you all for the comments! Spent hours playing yesterday! Wow! That is one VERY classy looking guitar!

The back and neck are indeed black, and the binding and plastic parts are a cream color. While at first I thought the color combination was a bit awkward, now it all just seems to fit together. I thought about getting some black speed knobs, but then again I kind of like the look of the gold knobs. I doubt I will mount the pickguard though, as I don't really feel like disrupting the flame or drilling a hole in the guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
