Finally Pulled the Trigger
After weeks of reading and looking and playing over and over again I finally made my decision and bought a '99 Cherry Burst Standard
 It had been available twice before but the buyers backed out both times. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it for the third time! Never thought I would buy one before playing it but somehow I felt it was time and the price seemed about right to me and it's hard to describe but it just seemed to speak to me on some level. I know it has a few dings but that's ok with me, none seem very severe. 1999 GIBSON Les Paul SUNBURST STANDARD guitar- BEAUTY! - eBay (item 330227183023 end time Apr-13-08 20:13:22 PDT) |

 That's KILLER! Man, talk about cherry sunburst! Dang! Beautiful red. Also, really nice dark fretboard. That's a classic Les Paul look there, and one of my favorites. You'll love it. Congratulations!

Re: Finally Pulled the Trigger
Thanks for all of the positive comments!
Yeah LongBeach, I am sooooo excited about this. That color just jumps out there, can't wait to see her in person. Hopefully I'll have her by the end of the week  I have a gig May 10 and so that will be her debut. I don't know if this is the same one or not Mojo, I started really looking a couple of months ago and that was when I first saw her. He seems to have a pretty good supply of guitars! The dude at GC's not gonna be happy with me though, he's been seeing $$ for a couple of months because he knew I was serious about buying one and now he lost his commission He was a pretty cool guy though and actually pretty helpful so there is a twinge of sympathy.Those plaintops just started talking to me and that was what I began focusing on for my first Gibby. |
