Kinda neat, I bought a kinda beat Gibson Les Paul Studio from Jerry here on the forum. It had a real cool yellow patina to it. I put .12's on it, set it up to be tuned down a whole step, Added Cream EMG 81 & 85, EMG Afterburner and a black pickguard.

Man this is my Black Sabbath heavy guitar for the time being. Sounds great, less than $1000 in it and I can leave it at the gig and not worry. Not every guitar needs to be some flamed out $$$ dollar monument to be cool.

Amen to that. Some of the coolest axes out there are beater/workhorses.

Nice guitar.

Can't decide wether I love or hate the white EMGs.
 
Looks great i prefer the studio over any other les paul in feel and sound.
 
I fail to see the "beat up" aspect of it. Looks real nice though!! Ebony board too, mm tasty.
 
A mid-90's Les Paul Studio. Great guitars! I have one myself. Would never let it go and I have let go much "nicer" Les Pauls and kept that one. Nice guitar Brad.
 
Very cool guitar, Brad.
I like those almost yellow LP Studios.
 
I'm not digging the look of the pickups, but I'm all about function over form so I'm sure it rocks. Nice job! :thumbsup:
 
Hope this doesn't get me banned, but definately needs black rings and pickups. :thumbsup:
 
Congrats on the guitar!!

After seeing the recent prices on the Gibby stuff, I just bought a beater guitar so that I can use it on the away gigs!! I got one of these for $700
