I depend too much on flash with my camera and my pics don't come out as they should.
Nice Gibson case too then? One of these days I am going to get a '58 Reissue - new. If I can get one of the ones made in the early 2000s with flame maple top (used) then that would also work. Those are harder to find though you pretty much have to run into them accidently.
You have one hell of a guitar...congrats again!

The case is sweet - black tolex outside, with a cream colored padding inside - no cover cloth like the older cases.
Thanks for the compliments, man. Methinks I have a winner here...........

First "all up" sound check:
With the Germino running without the Hot Plate (translated - LOUD!), and going straight in, I have found the "Undiscovered Country" of tone!
These Burstbuckers are super sweet - clear, round, and musical - with a good dose of punch. They clean up nicely at lower guitar volumes for that "purdy playin'". At full roar, it's sweet harmonic feedback at will - just hold the note and the rig starts singing.
The guitar has a great sustain and feels great in my hands. I don't have to force anything..................it just flows.
I'm a supremely happy guitar player right now.

I'm still head over heels in love with this guitar. It's everything I ever wanted from a Les Paul. It's seeing alot of playing time these days with the new band. It's going to be my go-to guitar.
