Hello, this is my first post here.
Let me start by saying that i feel extremely lucky, i got this amazing looking and sounding Les Paul, a vintage 1990 standard that has been played hard. This guitars almost feel like it belongs in a museum. The broken in feel is just out of this world....man i never thought a guitar could feel like this.
This baby has seen so many bars that it has that smoky smell all over, its an amazing smell!!!.
How the logo looks like its from the 50's is priceless. There are cracks in every part of the lacquered finish that has turned into a vintage amber.
I cleaned this guitar very carefully and it had coats nicotine every ware, The guitar had zero shine, but after this it brought it back and its way better then the VOS finish, because its real!!! everything here is real not simulated and i can see just how unrealistic Tom Murphy relicing is, no offence, but i think that it does not represent how real lacker ages.
The neck is fat and rounder from playing so many gigs that its the most comfortable neck i have ever played.
And for the sound....well the neck pickup its beyond anything i have ever heard, its so amazing i just cant describe them. The bridge is just as wonderful and has a vintage tone of a PAF. The acoustic tone of the wood resonates very snappy and warm.
This guitars come from Spartanburg, SC and i bought it from a guy that found it in a local pawnshop. Its was left there by the guitarist of a band called The BootHill Band (Southern rock) and he was the original owner and was his main guitar for years and played every bickers bars all over the USA.
This baby looks far older then 19 years and i'm blessed with it, for $1,210 and original case :dude:
