Gerontious Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I got this. To be fair I did buy it for myself. Is this the one ? Rob posted his glee at getting this guitar discounted in the Black friday sales.. back in November.http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/thumbs3/gibson-les-paul-studio-50s-tribute-humbucker-satin-gold-top-dark-back-1169603.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I've only started playing recently but can't wait until I can appreciate a guitar like that, looks gorgeous, I hope to have an LP one day, alongside a US Strat(which will probably be first) but for now I'm trying to get my head around chord progressions.

As long as you enjoy it that's all that matters. Nailing a favourite song or solo is a fantastic feeling. I've been playing for more than 30 years but am still learning every day.

Nailing a solo feels a very long way off for me at the moment, but still really enjoying playing.One thing I've always thought with guitars is Les Pauls always look great in Sunburst but it's a colour I don't think suits a Strat at all- they look great in white,black,red etc though.

Strangely enough I have 2 Strats, one is Sunburst (!) and an all black one. I think Les Pauls look great in Sunburst too but have lusted after a Gold Top after seeing a certain guitar player play one live back in my younger days:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDdZ0kqJO_8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're ridiculous prices these days. I am lucky but at an age that allowed me to see bands like GnR, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Alice In Chains etc etc. Saying that if a ticket comes along at the right price for GnR next year, I'll be tempted.
