    This came today from Sweetwater. I was looking for a special, lifetime/keeper guitar to commemorate my dad who just passed and had been looking to get a Les Paul for a while as all my other electrics are Fender so I went for it. So far, it's pretty awesome right out of the box!




    Cool guitar! Condolences about losing your dad. That LP is a good way to commemorate him.

    Very nice. The very first guitar I ever owned was a used Les Paul Custom that my dad bought me. We went into the store and I was just hoping for a Squire like I played at my buddy's house. I picked up the Les Paul and was blown away by the difference. I said it was too expensive, but my dad decided to buy it for me. I will always cherish that guitar.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I still remember when he took me to purchase my first electric guitar which I had saved up money for ... it was 31 years ago and I went and bought a Made in Mexico, 3 Color Sunburst Standard Strat. I still have that guitar though it doesn't get played anymore. Maybe a project to overhaul it for another day!

    The Les Paul I had originally purchased a few weeks back unfortunately had a flaw in it's neck binding that bothered me considering the price range of the guitar and I sent it back for a refund. 

    I was very lucky though to come across this incredible Green Lemon Burst from another retailer. It checks all the boxes for me in terms of a great burst and a beautiful top. On top of that, it plays and sounds great!

    I go through phases with guitars. Sometimes I might not touch a Strat for like, 6 months. Then one day I'll pick it up and if feels like coming home. Kind of rekindles my interest in it.

    That's probably why I keep a few types of guitars around. It's nice to be able to change things up a little sometimes.
