What sort of guitar situation are you running over there molly ? Room for the stinky strat and a lester to cohabitate ?
Have not been in the gibson fanboi camp long butmy leanings in terms of les pauls fall squarely on gold tops and TV yellow specials/juniors both of which benefit from ] beat to heck in my opinion.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
Had these for years, not much has changed. 2000 LP Standard in a red flame type finish I brought from someone (Danny?) on here quite a few years back, and a 2008 LP Studio Faded. The Studio currently has some EMG's fitted, 81/89 TW set with push/pull etc from memory. Haven't really decided if the originals will go back in yet as the EMG's are quite clear, and splitting the neck one is really good. (Splitting the bridge 81 is meh)
Studio has been my goto for years, brought it used in San Fran as a beater while living there for next to nothing so brought it back. Heaps of natural patina, and I think the appeal more than anything is the lite weight and not having to care about it getting marked. It's mega dented and rubbed raw already. I did get Alan here to refret it not long back with the biggest frets he had to get my Zakk vibrato on.
The standard gets played maybe twice a year. It's nice, but heavy, and I usually always play standing up.

OMG That's THE ONE! (Visually at least) Gold, P90's, relic.....I'm in love.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
I think that red Standard may have been a guitar I brought with me when we moved to NZ.
