You lucky chap!
That LP is lovely, I want one damnit!!!
Thanks

It rivals the look of the PRS I think. In some ways it is better.
About a year ago I actually were looking for one as Easyrider would remember but of all the ones I've tried, they were meh to average at best. Although I was looking at new Les Paul at the time but since then I've learn that used guitar is where the wise money should go so when it came round again to look for one I took my time, and foudn this. My list of want was quite specific and long.
1 - No Tobacco burst
2 - No Cherry burst
3 - No Gold top (I actually like Gold Top but just not for the first one)
4 - No red back
5 - Has binding
6 - No pickguard, I know I can take it off but I don't want a hole
7 - with pick up covers preferred
8 - All stock hardware, no mods
9 - In reasonable condition, some signs of used is fine but no serious damage and no neck break
10 - With all original papers and documents
11 - Used
12 - Never had a refret done, nor in need of one anytime soon
13 - Weighs in at 9lb or under preferred
14 - Made Between late 90's to 2012, no Norlin era.
15 - No quilt top
16 - Nice flamed top if I could find it
17 - Traditional Les Paul, so no coil tap and no reverse Peter Green phasing
18 - No chambered, weight relief or solid
19 - Under £2,000
20 - Within the radius of 100 miles of my house so I can try before I buy
I manage to satisfy 17 out of the 18 points as the guitar is 9 ounces over my 9lb limit I set myself, but not bad considering how picky I was being. The bonus is that the Guitar is a Custom shop mode, and it is made with a long tenon and all the hardware are used in the Historic series which retails like £3k and up. Extra bonus that it was a shop that had it so I was able to trade in a guitar to Part-Ex it, saves me selling it on the used market separately.
This photo shows off the flame even better, though it comes and goes depending on angle of light.
