I like this one because it also has the bridge instead just the tailpiece. https://reverb.com/item/41770989-gibson ... LH8u8gPKO4

This one has the wrap-around only, but you'll save some cash: https://reverb.com/item/42626011-gibson ... -2019-2020

Plus neck and body binding, a cool looking maple top, reflector knobs, better tuners...but he wants a special. I have this one, and it's great. Dot inlays and faded finish be damned... https://reverb.com/item/42528463-gibson ... 03-amazing

I only had to pay $750 though.

I mean, ive really just been obsessed with the TV yellow color.

I am not opposed to this Guitar offered in the trade. Not one bit. I used to have a Fender Thinline with p90's but i sold that to help pay for my 52 tele. Ive been missing p90's ever since.

I think im gonna go for the trade. The guitar gets plenty or great reviews. I want P90's and i do want a les paul as part of my tonezone. In the end, i am not using my marshall, and i can always sell the guitar down the line.

Ultimately, its a les paul with p90's. Of the color schemes in this model, this tobacco burst is the best one.

Ill give it a go!

All you need is rather ripped and daydream nation to get it.

Love the faded finish. Yours is definitely the coolest LP in the discussion. Strat's tobacco burst is killer too, and both are nicer than TV yellow. Not sure I see the appeal with that one, guys.

I'm happy with that guitar for sure. Color is fine, I just like the yellow. The double-cut makes it a lot easier to get up high, too. But, this one is my favorite. Tiger stripe flame goes in and out, depending on the light and angle. And I haven't had another humbucker equipped guitar sound as good.

Any of you bums ever installed a pickguard on a les paul before? I think what my new/upcoming LP is missing is that pickguard.
