Duded Up my Les Paul 60's Tribute Gold Top

[drewiv]

I was looking at Customs, R0s, Sig Models and Custom Shops. Just happened upon a 60's Tribute Gold Top and wasn't too impressed with the looks, but figured I'd try it out for the price. It feels awesome in my hands (the neck is perfect), you can't pass on guitars that feel this good. Regardless if you were looking for something top of the line. The pickups weren't quite right and the entire look of the guitar wasn't appealing to me. The matte Gold Top doesn't fit in with all the bright and shiny chrome hardware, wasn't feeling it at all on the matte gold top finish.

Finally got around to it. Plays and sound awesome. The Rebel Yells sound great in full Humbucker of Coil Tapped. I'm very happy.

Not the route I would've taken, but it looks pretty good. I'm always turned off by LP's without binding, tho. Kudos for making it your own

I dig it.

I don't like black hardware. I don't like satin finished Gibsons with no binding.

But I like your guitar.

It just looks *right*.

Great job.

The alpha pots would be a downgrade if it came with CTS. Looks good though!

It came with this hodgepodge o' crap. So, yeah, Alphas were an upgrade.

Thanks, Nick. I love the looks and the thing plays great.
