I have a 2005 LP Standard LE in that gorgeous Manhattan Midnight finish. I remember walking into Guitar Center and seeing it on the wall. It was all the way on the top rack and was way out of reach. Just as well as I was just in the store to pick up some strings and cables. It was beautiful, but I was trying to save money at the time. I reasoned that it would be too much trouble and take too much time to get a salesperson to pull it down. I bought my strings and cables and left. But then something funny happened... Over the next week, I kept thinking of the guitar. Fighting the urge to go see it again and play it. One evening, in a moment of weakness, I went back to Guitar Center. Thinking that the guitar was far too pretty to not have been snatched up by someone else, I figured that I would get there only to find the guitar gone. Needless to say, it was still there. I got a salesperson to bring it down off the wall for me. I found myself sort of hoping that it would play terribly. Trying to find a reason not to buy it. (Still trying to save money) But it didn't play terribly. It played like butter. It growled, it moaned, it screamed. It was awesome! I always knew I'd own a LP, I just figured it would be another year or two. Not so. It was to be that day. Took it to the counter, not before getting a better deal than was on the tag, and whipped out the checkbook. Total bliss ever since....although I would like to play a Joe Perry Boneyard LP and see if I can fall in love again. Sorry if this was a bit long winded, but it's a love story. LOL

ooohhh we have the same favorite! nice choice!
