I bought this baby back in 2008 to lift my goldtop les paul GAS. This les paul caught my eye for quite some time back then and when I got the cash to snag it, i did. Easily one of the best sounding electric (by that time) I've ever had, but with some issues.. it needed a refret and it is heavy as f*** when gigging.
The serial is 1981, same as my birth year. So there's a sentimental value going on with the guitar. It pleases me to know that I have in my possession, a guitar that is my age exactly.
Fast forward, I got bitten by the tele bug. With so many going on in my life that time (2008 was a f*** messy year for me), I had it traded for a Gneco Telecaster. I think a 1974 or '77. I was happy with the tele for a short time, before it sold for far less than what I paid the les paul for.
Fast forward again to 2010. I missed the damn guitar, I started asking around for it. Regret started to kick in.
Fast forward again to 2013. It magically popped up in the ads. I never thought twice so... I contacted the seller immediately to reserve.
Here it is now:
All black plastics
Refretted
Gibson pickups
New hardware
