i kinda understand by reading some of the related posts, but im not completely sure.
when people talk about the "holy grail" when referring to les pauls they are almost definitely talking about a '59 standard. or thats what ive understood it to be.
but for me the holy grail is different. there was a particular les paul custom that made quite an impression on me some 25 years ago and ive had an itch that just kept getting worse over the years...... until last week. i scratched that damn thing once and for all.
