Members ido1957 Posted August 10, 2014 Members Share Posted August 10, 2014 My new 2014 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Didn't take too long to get comfortable playing it. It is strung with 10-46 which takes a bit more strength to bend that B string up a whole tone. It's probably 10 lbs but is comfortable for playing while standing a couple hours at a time. Pic from my cheapo Samsung flip phone - can't find my camera's battery charger at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted August 10, 2014 Members Share Posted August 10, 2014 There's just something about a Les Paul, isn't there? Especially when they don't have those pus green tuner buttons. Congratulations and Happy New Guitar Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ido1957 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes it is a beautifully crafted guitar. It has that unmistakeable Gibson sound, clean or overdriven. This has been on my wish list for a long time and was well worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AJ6stringsting Posted August 11, 2014 Members Share Posted August 11, 2014 Years ago, I bought a White 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom back in 1988. I put a Dimarzio Evolution in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Screamin' demon on the neck. Like every Metal Head back then, I was playing Super Strats with Floyd Roses ( Jacksons, Kramers ) and the difference, was many. I had to switch string gauges from 46,36,26,17,13,10 to 48,38,28,18,14,11 gauge, because of the string tension, making be feel like I was playing with rubber bands.Congrats !!!! .... the guitar is beautiful !!!!

Members AlamoJoe Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 Heartiest congrats! I had a '75 custom in black with nickel hardware and I loved it. Wife got sick and had to sell it. Still got her but wish I had that Paulie back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
