i'd say that is $700 nice with different knobs for volume and tone

not a fan of the burst.. but i don't see many LP's in a cherry finish only these days..
love it with the bigsby, no les paul should be without.

Its ok, neck pickup is the wrong way round and I think out of phase humbuckers sounds like ass. The bridge should be the other way around IMO as I think they look untidy with the screws facing that way and I don't like the knobs on the volume and tone controls.

That help? :lol:

Apart from that if it was cheaper I'd rock it

It would cost $400 to buy those pickups and Bigsby to put on my Les Paul.

That bigsby looks a bit out of place on that guitar but apart from that very nice! :)

Nice guitar. I personally love bigsbys on Les Pauls. Super classy.


I think that price it a bit optimistic, though.

I love it. Bigsby looks good, and I've always preffered Les Pauls without pickguards. I like the finish as well.

The only thing (very small thing!) is the neck pickup is upside down and it bugs me. heh.

I like bigsbys on some les pauls.

Example:

I just don't think it looks right with that colour.

Cherry burst is the most overrated les paul color ever. I can't stand it.

tha burst is ugly, and the bigsby makes it look worst. And you can buy much better locking guitars with 1500$. I also am ot a big fan of gibson necks, or lespaul sound.

If i were you, i would spend the money on the black one you have. you have one right?

Just flip the other 2 and get that one, buyers remorse eliminated. I'm not putting the guitar or it's price down because both are pretty sweet and it'd probably be a bit more fun. UnMac that pickup and put a guard on there and it'll look like the Keefburst.

Goldtop > Cherry Burst

In fact Every Color Gibson has ever put on a Les Paul > Cherry Burst
