NGD well sort of!

I bought my 1st LP about 2 months ago, but have only just got it home.
Seller wouldnt ship out of UK so had it sent to a mate's in UK then went over to pick it up.
here are a few pics of the new baby.
Its a 1988 Standard with Bill Lawrence "The Original" pups
I have swapped out the original cream pickguard pup rings and toggle ring for black as i really like that look.
Ive kept all the original parts incase i have to sell it down the line.
I've got Russian caps and CTS 500k pots with 50's wiring to put in shortly, but one thing at a time, it plays beautifully.
Quality of pics isnt good (Iphone)
But here she is.

Very nice, I like the changes you made, especially the black pickguard.

Thanks guys
Yeah i like the look of all black, i can always put the cream parts back on but it looks a million dollars with all black.
i was tempted to put the Les Paul Custom truss cover on as well but left the Standard one on (for now)
Can wait for the wiring upgrade, its anly got 100k and 300k pots on at the moment.

Re: NGD well sort of!

Since it's a LP Standard, I'd leave the Standard Truss Rod cover on it. (JMO)
