I'll do proper fotos, but the weekend saw a couple of forum bargains hit Jooky Acres, following on from something a bit swish last week..
First up
@trotter's time-stained Gibson Les Paul 50s Tribute Gold Top..

Next was probably the bargain of the decade from
@iseverynamegone, an Edwards Les Paul, which is gobsmackingly good. Still rather stunned by it, and what a fine chap to deal with too, despite my best efforts at screwing things up, as per.

@DrBob.
He won't thank me for saying this, but he has made an adolescent boy very happy.
Err, moving on.

I was gonna put something in about Rob making boys happy, but that would be juvenile and in poor taste.
Pffffffffffffffff.
Play them?

However, it was an amazing bargain that I nearly snapped up myself but luckily (and sadly) put the brakes on. Congrats jooky, looking forward to seeing how that one turns out
Enjoy the Edwards and please don't sell it too hastily (whatever that time frame is in Jookyville)
No, I think this one may just be a k-kk-. I mean, k-k-kee...
No, still can't say that word

Natural back and sides would look great, especially a nice tru oil finish.
I'm going to I think, it is too nice already.. A nice B7 will set it off a treat
