So I've been out for a new LP for a while now and this one caught my eye. So thats not the ironic part, it is the fact that you guys have been fighting over the production date and wouldn't you know it was made on MY BIRTHADY!!! Ive seriously been hit with an urge. I mean I was on the fence b4 but now Holy Cow!!!

Dude if I could find a Les Paul with my birthdate I would take a loan out to buy it. Seriously. If you don't snag this guitar you will regret it later.

Great guitar that more than a few players prefer over the regular USA Standard from the same era(2005-2008). Very popular for mods like Peter Green mod to vintage spec mods. Less nitro coats sprayed on the Faded (compared to the Stock LP) which gives it a satin feel and some claim makes for a more resonant and lively guitar. Many players hand buff the tops to bring out the Flame and add sheen.

 

2005 - weight relief (swiss cheese)

2006 - 2008 Chambered

2005 - 07 models had 50's/60's neck option.

2008 models were only available with 50's neck.

 

Downside is inconsistency in tops - some great, some "eh" and some just plain ugly. This one looks nice.

 

These are discontinued models that are holding value @ $1100-$1300. Some with nice tops are going for $1500. Bone stock examples with nice tops are considered good investments, although most buy these as throw around workhorses.

 

The PU covers are not stock.

 

I'd buy it if I had the $.

 

Hope I helped. :blah:
