Slimpsy1647545505 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Being a strat owner/player for years. . I decided it's time to take the plunge and join the dark side. 08 Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus Top in Desert Burst - 60's neck. http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/98/l_03eb7c45cb454d669486cd35b40bd55b.jpg http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/112/l_fa7c559f44824f7c831f17e25c6b74df.jpg Edited May 29, 2009 by Slimpsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 nice guitar, but with my brother and i it was always me-strat- him lespaul. I never liked the weight distribution in the les paul. he years later bought my strat when i switched to acoustic/electric only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone out there is looking at a good investment .. you can't beat a Les Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Looks expensive so I am guessing it is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Looks expensive so I am guessing it is nice. Not expensive in comparison to some, but certainly not a Squier Strat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpriestas Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Very nice! Looks like fenders are becoming a great investment too! Everything they make went up at least $100. I have a Blues Jr. amp last year it was $479/ this year $599, and a 72 Telecaster Deluxe RI that was I believe about $700 last year/ $1000 this year. Guitars are great investments!

Primera Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I still regret selling my Gibson. My LP+Marshall 1960A half stack was a beautiful thing. I switched to an Ibanez AM73 semi hollowbody and Fender Blues Jr (basically a jump to the opposite side of the spectrum). I'll definitely be picking up another Les Paul soon.

Mensan Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I find a Les Paul difficult to play due to the neck thickness, but I love the way it sounds. That said, I also love an American Strat (including G&L models), and just about any Paul Reed Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Great guitars. You will not regret it. They will take a beating from hell and still stay in tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Been playing this thing all weekend. . can't put it down. In between holding my baby girl, I'm holding this. . LoL. I picked up a Peavey Vypyr Tube 212 with the Sanpera II effects board for playing around the house. . . and it's been a really fun time. If you want a great sounding amp for not a whole lot. . . check one out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
