Welp, had to get a Gibson "The Paul" in walnut goodness

[romanianreaper]

I had got a Gibson Les Paul Studio about a year or so ago and n3ver could gel with it. It was a special edition in 24 frets and never meshed with it. I went to a guitar store and loved this guitar and so I traded and added a bit of dough.

It is a 1979 "The Paul" with the original case and a Super Distortion in the bridge. Plays great, lighter, sounds great, and just needs a coaster to look like a coffee table.

Very cool! Oh the memories.. My first good guitar was a 1979 The Paul. Got it in 1982. 275.00 from money I earned washing dishes and sold my baseball cards. Unfortunately my dad smashed it a couple years later. Lol.. Nice score!!

Why would you dad do it?

Why would you dad do it?

I was doing teenager stuff, smoking pot, skipping school etc. and he was frustrated and blamed the guitar. He was very old fashioned. Always the cool and calm type, at least on the surface.. One day he snapped! and with it so did the neck of my guitar..

Thanks guys! I'm thinking of eventually swapping out the Super Distortion and might put my 2nd Degree Blackbelt in there.
