No but I have a '79 Standard which has a maple neck w/ a rosewood fretboard. Sounds GREAT!

I have one. It plays great and sounds awesome with the Alnico pups. I keep her locked away for a 25 yr reunion. I bought it for an ivestment. LOL only played it 3 times but part of me wants to just pull it out and make it a player. The neck feels a little different from my '60 reissue but not in a bad way.

i found a new one for 1399. i'm short on cash at the moment-but i've always wanted a maple neck paul. i'm not a zakk wylde fanboy but he says that it's a big part of his sound.

Nice. Looks just like mine. How heavy is your's? They're pretty light guitars as they are chambered a bit on the inside. How does your guitar compare tonewise to other LP's?

Chambered and it still sounds thicker than any superstrat i have owned.

mine seems heavier than my 60 reissue.

looks like a fancier version of ronsons' les paul. i think he sanded off the original color.

 

[jlbaxe]

did a side by side it is about 1 1/2 pounds heavier and sounds solid when knocking on it.
