Les Paul from Jimmy Page Guitar Shop

[Satch]

Love the new axe!!!!!!

[rnolan]

Whats more unusual is that after owning it for a month(ish) I've burnt the strings out, I just play it so much, when I'm giging I'd change strings every second night, but I'm not so they tend to last much longer... But I noticed the other night, the strings could use a change... I'm loving this thing...

....but I have been pleasantly surprised by a couple of online purchases too, one of which is my Les Paul copy Ibanez that weighs as much as my car :thumb-up:

Yeah, my keeper LPC was bought online and I absolutely love that guitar.  It's got some heft, but not too heavy and the neck profile is good for me. 

Now, the local music store has a really nice LPC that just plays killer and has a great neck on it but the darn thing weight feels like it weighs 15 pounds.. LOL

And rnolan, that guitar must be a keeper if you've worn the strings out already!

Absolutely, there are now 3 guits (of only 9) that I've told my daughter that are not (never!! ever !!) to leave the family, my Anderson, the acoustic I built from scratch and now this JPLP. Just burnt in another 3 hours on it.... this time turning on the IPS33 smart shift, f##k me this guitar is good.... Again time for bed...

So for the first time in years my left finger callouses are like when I was playing 5 nights a week LOL (I spose it's coz I am  ). And it almost needs a new set of strings (already...) While they're not cheap, if you come accross one of these JPLP #1 re-issues, they are definitly worth it  :thumb-up:

Just had a great jam with MikeB (LP classic > MP1 rig, ADA csb sim into studio monitors), when you get up close to his LP Classic "mistress" (note little m Mike LOL) it's very beautiful, not as 3D as my new JPLP but (as Mike and I enjoyed, when some one else is playing your guit you can see how it looks (coz when we are playing them we see the top edge)).

TRUE! I was watching a guy playing my small semi-hollow axe and the wood looked like it had been touched by GOD - the wood grain looked sooooo deeeep, I was entranced 

It sounded great too - the desert island guitar for sure (if I'm ever stuck on a desert island and can only bring one guitar....). She's the one on the left side, I know, you can't really see the grain in this pic. I'll get a shot in the sun, that's where you can see it like a stage light hitting it  :thumb-up:

Hey Dante, Nice  :thumb-up:

[GuitarBuilder]

Congratulations on a great score, Richard!  I have also made it clear I wish to be buried with my '59 LP   :banana-dance:

Warning: Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT plug this LP straight into a Marshall Plexi SLP-1959 (Super Lead) and play it at max volume!!  You will forever be drawn to the Dark Side and abandon your ADA......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[rnolan]

That's a good point, I haven't tried it with my 72 Marshall 50 yet  >:D LOL

[MikeB]

Shall I bring over the JCM 900 on Wednesday??  :banana-guitar:

[rnolan]

Maybe not this Wednesday but be good to give it a go sometime  >:D LOL

[Zilthy]

That LP is so lovely, it is making me want to actually get a real LP!

[rnolan]

Hey Zilthy, from all the research I've done since getting it, it's one of the best looking I've seen, caught my eye at the music shop, then I played it, mmmm such a lovely thin neck (my preference) and sooo much sustain (reminds me of spinal tap LOL). I hadn't heard it plugged in until I'd set it up with some DR 10-46, then played until dawn. I thought the weight would be a problem but it's not at all, it's very comfortable to play (for hours on end). And I love the '59 PAF in the neck, the burst bucker in the bridge is growing on me. Also PUs are wired out of phase at the selector switch, so Led Zep tones abound. Only small criticism is it's a bit hard to play in 19th position due to the neck join bulk (as are all '59 LPs). I now get some insight into why Page was very much a 3 finger(ed) lead player as it's very hard to get your 4th finger in there up that high.
