First Les Paul ever; popping my LP cherry here.
I've been wanting an LP forever; however, I've been waiting for the right one. Specifically, I wanted a cherry flame top with an ebony board. I finally found it! Dead mint condition, too. Came from a collector who kept it as his case queen. No buckle rash, scratches, or dings to be found anywhere on this beauty.
See after pics for more info.
Specifications:
Mahogany body
Mahogany neck
Ebony fretboard
Abalone inlays
12" - 14" compound radius neck
The radius measurements of the neck DO NOT exist anywhere on the internet. I spent ridiculous amounts of time trying to find the measurements before I just had my tech measure it for me. So there you go. For all of those curious on the Elegant compound radius measurements, it's 12" to 14".
It has a chambered mahogany body, but I'm not sure how many chambers this has really. It weighs in at a good 9 pounds!
I absolutely love this guitar. It plays amazingly and feels like a guitar of this calibre should: absolutely perfect. Had my tech, who's a Gibson nut, check it out, and he couldn't put it down. He said it was the smoothest playing LP he'd played in forever.
