Title: NGD
Post by: jimilee on February 08, 2024, 08:44:02 PM
Got myself another Les Paul. Never had one with P90s. So far, they're great. Sam Ash has them on their Reverb store $500 off. Finally got my college graduation gift.

Goldtop LP with P90's = timeless classic.

Thanks guys, I'm loving it. It's my third gold top and my second Gibson gold top. Got an LTD with DiMarzio anniversary pickups.

Perfect Les Paul... P90s and a Gold Top. You are now considered complete.

Until future GAS attack....

It's a perpetual state of being for me.

I had, if memory serves (sketchy lately) a 68 Deluxe gold top that had the mini humbuckers.  Back then everyone routed them out and installed humbuckers.  Stupid mistake but I was the second owner.  The body was intended to house P90's but Gibson's workaround was the trim ring and mini-humbuckers.  Those guitars had a sound of their own.

I'd kill to have that guitar back, even in it's routed form.  At the time it was the last of the mahogany necks before they switched to maple.  Maple????

Right?!! I'm thinking about a birth year Les Paul, now. A '71 deluxe with mini humbuckers, I think, maybe.

I live vicariously through you my man.  If you can, then do it brother.  I hit this weird thing where I found my Yamaha Ty Tabor and the other guitar player in the band said exactly what I thought: " I think you finally found your voice!"  I think I've landed but will reserve the right to gas none the less.

It's weird though, I've chased the dragon for almost 50 years and I may have finally caught him.

Very cool, man. I haven't played in a band in probably 11 or 12 years. I can't hear well enough to sing, unfortunately.

Can't imagine something like that, can't imagine dragon chasing to start with.
Closest thing would be a desert island guitar and that's easy enough, but i also know that as soon as i land on the shore, i'd probably chase a turtle to build the second.
Can't even decide on an amp.

Gorgeous thing Jimmy. Congrats. How many Les Pauls?

Unless I'm forgetting some, 7. 8 if you count the SG.

SG's were first called Les Paul's. They should count.

Calls for a family shot.
