All original right down to the pots, pickups and hardware. Beat up and smells like smoke, it has seen its days. Re-fretted recently and came with case, here we go, pictures arent the best, I will try to get better later.

She is not too bad on weight either 10 Lbs 7 Oz's, my 1978 Custom black beauty weighs in at 9 Lbs 10 Oz's. If i drop the fine tuner tail piece I will more then likley lose a few onces.

I traded for this guitar, so i got away easy.

Did you end up in a bidding war with Adam Jones? Because I'm pretty sure he wants to buy every single one in existence :lol: Looks great, wish I had one

Stop over this weekend, maybe get jeff out too.

DO WANT

Sounds great, still has the original T-Top in it, so the pickup is not as hot as the dirty finger reissue in my 78. I havent decided if i want to keep the original or put a dirty finger in this one as well.

The guy had a fret job done, so the frets on this one are bigger. This one is also almost a pound heavier but still feels good.

Nice one! How does it compare to your '78 in terms of sound and playability?

Well the gibson will only take fingers, the fists are too big

:ugh:

Not sure if I have anymore JB's, I will have to check to see if I can get that Tool Vibe going, I do have another Dirty finger though.

Dave you might like the T-Tops.

JB/Jazz set at once.

What never a big fan of EMG's, I really like the gibson Dirty finger reissues though so I might just have to go with that, or maybe the JB, had one in my 68 reissue and it sounded good.

Funny thing, around christmas I was looking for a new watch, so my wife wanted to get it for me for Chirstmas. So anyway we go watch shopping and I like the all metal watches and my wife keeps telling me they make me look like i am an Italian guy from the Jersey shore.

Anyway we finally ended up getting this one which I guess was technically my first silverburst. Of course my wife liked it without knowing it looked like a gibson guitars finish.



Weird thing I like silverbursts, but if I didnt get this guitar in a trade I would have never gone after one, but just weird how I get a silverburst watch and less then a month later I get a silverburst Les Paul Custome.

Anyway I am thinking I am taking my wife watch shopping again this weekend, this time I am looking for for a watch with a burst face and one that is cream colored with gold accents. And then for the next month I am going to sit here waiting for my New Les Paul custom Randy Rhoads model reissue and a Gibson Les Paul G0, which is basically a R0 (60 reissue) but made for guitar center so it has the 60's slim tapered neck.

I already had a clown burst, very nice 1968 custom reissue, the GC modeal with the 60's neck. Guitar was nice, but I like white! Plus I want a standard at some point.

My house is always a party LOL.

:lol:

You need a clownburst watch.

Get-together at Todd's house! :lol:
