NGD

Well it's actually been a double NGD week. After looking to get some P90's back in my life I bought a Regun Relic LP Jr from a forumer earlier in the week and the very next day I was reading the P90 thread and @rlw linked to the Japanese run Les Paul Specials that GG were blowing out which looked right up my street. It's your fault rlw!

Well went into try try one out today and couldn't resist - what a sweet sounding guitar! This is the definition of madness though, keep on repeating yourself, this is my 4th double P90 Gibson in about as many years. I rather like this one though, they've done it just right.

So the Raygun will be for the chop likely, and this could also trouble my beloved Schecter PT as I only want to keep three guitars overall.

Crappy iPhone pics only at the mo. Including with it's two most likely stable mates, together they cover a lot of ground.

(sorry for the link, embedding photos from an iPad is nigh on impossible!)

  • Nice looking guitar - as I only buy vicariously these days, I think you should continue with your profligacy.... :)

    It's  really easy to post pics using an iPad. Just press and hold on the image you want and there'll be a pop up, tap on the copy image button and then paste to here and post it then refresh the page and the image will show.

    Done on my iPad.

    That's a sweet guitar. The other guitarist in my band has just ordered something similar, he has been jonesing for something with P90's for a while.
    Don't touch that dial.

    Hi dindude

    Glad that you like the LP Special.  I've barely put mine down since buying it, it really is that good..  So light yet so loud and tuneful - perfect.

    When posting links from imgur if you post the link in the "image url" box above the editor the hit space it will show the image rather than the link. 

    soon as you take the pickguard off it'll look perfect. ;)
    Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.....

    How light is yours?, mines just over 8 and a half pounds, so feels heavy for this Fender man, but then I guess it's light for a Les Paul! And yes it sounds awesome.

    Had to check to see and couldn't quite believe it so I did it again and compared with the others.  All weighed on the bathroom scales so not ultra accurate but

    Les Paul Classic (2017)  9.5lb

    Baja Telecaster                8.5lb

    Highway 1 Strat               7.5lb

    LP Special                       7.0lb

    Of the two in the shop at the time, mine was the lightest by some distance - the other on was bought by an FBer too.

    I see they still have some in stock and I'm lusting after one, but as always my wallet groans in protest.
