The cherry burst looks great with the creme pickups but I don't like that the back of the guitar is left natural mahogany. Why!? 🤔
 
Was dropping an amp off at my local shop last weekend and they had just unboxed one of these. I don’t think they are fundamentally any different than a standard 50s and I didn’t plug it in but I did play it for 10-15 minutes while talking specs with the employee. Honestly that particular example was killer and I would have brought it home without plugging in if I was in the market. It was light, nice flame, perfect neck shape, bright yet full acoustically - all the things I like. I do wonder how prone to feedback they are with uncovered, unpotted pickups - dangerous combo for a high gain fella like myself. But in reality I’d change those pickups regardless.
 
I don’t know. It’s basically still the same Les Paul with pick ups that you still might wanna change out anyway. Not much of a motivator to get one just because it has double cream pickups. I would want something that’s more different about the Guitar than just saying we’ve done what you might do with the regular LP anyway. I’d be more likely to hit up a small maker who has what I want to make me double creams or close) with what they offer.
I think I would only end up with one of these if I was just trying to find a Les Paul, and the one in the store that played and sounded the best happened to be one of these. 🤷‍♂️
