Zman, Did you ever find your worn brown LP?? I picked one up at GC last month. They offered 15% if you traded a guitar in on it. I parted with a Peavey that I never used. They gave me $125 for the Peavey so I got it home for under $600. I just love the tone of this LP. Since it's all mahogany it has such a dark tone. They had two worn brown and one satin black. I played all three for well over an hour before deciding on my worn brown. I really wanted to like the satin black when I saw them in person. The burst buckers, feel and tone of the wb kept me grabbing it off the stand. The sales guy was great he kept grabbing guitars, tuning them up then set them all around me to do back to back caomparos. I know it's a great guitar since I haven't played my others much since I got it. I bought Kluson Tone Pros locking tuners for it. Here it is before the lockers.
