NGD - '88 LPC Tobacco Sunburst

Got this from 52trapeze in a trade. It's recently been under the knife by yours truly. I put a BB#3 in the bridge and BB#2 in the neck, as well as CTS 500k pots and mojo PIO caps. Also put on reflector knobs and pointer washers. It was just a personal preference of mine as I kept everything else and put it in the case. Just recently set it up and straightened the neck out, had too much relief for me. Oh and I pulled the pickguard off and filled the holes with some filler to show off the nice top. Enjoy.

Wow! Outstanding guitar man, take care of her and you know she'll take care of you.
Looks way too good to be an '88, Hell of a buy man.

Ugh... I just put this up for sale in the member classifieds. Hate to do this, but just bought an R8. G.A.S. will be the death of me.
