Happy happy NGD for me!, (Standard Faded content)

slashcut · 07-23-2011, 08:07 AM

So happy to be back in the Les Paul camp again! A week or so ago I traded my Nash tele for a Standard Faded in Honeyburst, really liking the 50s neck btw.

Next up is a good rub in with some Virtuoso cleaner and polish. I also have a calibrated set of "Mules" in aged nickel coming from the good folks at Bareknuckle Pickups.

The standard faded seems to be a real bargain when considering the sound, playability and the looks. A pretty nice top for a "cheap" series Les Paul.

I know a NGD thread is useless without pics so here they come!

Happy NGD!!!

I got one of the recent "traditional" fadeds that came out for a shop in Canada.

Great guitars!
Yours along with the others made between 05-09 had better finishes.

Check this thread where we collected some info on the fadeds to read how much appreciated these guitars are.

Great purchase, well done!

All the best

awesome! i love those things

tolm · 07-23-2011, 06:10 PM

Great looking flame/grain on that top. Had a Faded Standard a while back - the '50s neck and faded finish make for a very nice playing experience.

BelAir · 07-23-2011, 06:15 PM

That´s just awesome ........

heybulldog · 07-23-2011, 06:27 PM
