2002 68 RI in white - ideally I wanted a '99 but, well, this will do nicely. ABR (not Nashville like Custom Shop was doing back then), Classic 57's (which some can be v good from his era....crap shoot tho), medium/large neck like an R9, usually not heavy (for a Custom).

Most photos online are this guitar.

Now, to wait.....and wait....
Ah that'd be one of those Les Paul guitars. Heard good things

They are ok.

Very nice. Did you choose a pickup?

No pickup, I like these just acoustic, my slide playing is shite on electric.

My Artist Baritone Guitar was finally shipped to me last week but there was a wiring fault. Returned back to Artist Guitars but then they said that they had no other Artist Baritone guitars in stock so they gave back a full refund.

I always wanted a baritone guitar so I was kinda bummed that I have to wait until Artist has the Baritone guitars back in stock again.

But I strung my Radian Les Paul with .12-.68 Baritone Elixir strings, tuned to Standard B and it works just like a charm! No nut or guitar saddle adjustment needed and intonation is still spot on! Very happy how it worked out and having more money in my pocket.

Ordered from Aliexpress on Saturday evening 22/7, arrived today at 06:53am. That is fast

Out of the box it looks good. But longevity of quality of item will become evident over time...

I got a phuck off price from some goldplater to do some humbucker covers. Got some from AE for a fraction of the F off price. Now need to check if they actually fit and if they alter the sound at all. So before/after recording to be done.

Strings & Beyond package arrived too. That took 15 days, not too bad.

Rockshop order, 3 hours from order to pickup. Works for me.
