Great shots everyone - I never get tired of looking at LPC's. Now for gratuitous pics of mine...

2007 VOS RI

I just scored another one today. '81 with three Super D's. I love the Ace look, and it plays, and sounds amazing. Yet another killer Norlin found a good home!

Ok, I'll show one of my B7:

ZoSoHowie · 06-15-2008, 06:19 PM

Here's a few... Wine one is a 2000 and the white one is a 1998

I still believe the 'Custom' with it's Ebony fretboards are the best playing LP's

Ok, here's some better pics. I changed out all the hardware for chrome. It had a Schaller bridge that was cracked, and bent in two directions! It didn't effect intonation, or tuning, but it had to go! I stripped her down, and cleaned her up. Ready to rock!

Sweet custom!

I realize this is probably a stupid question, but, here it goes anyway.
Does the middle pup bother you at all when you play?

The middle pup in my strat bugs the shit out of me for some reason?

Not at all. On most three pickup Les Pauls that I've played, the middle pup is far enough from the strings so that it doesn't get in my way. Strats, on the other hand, do. Plus, I don't see myself ever really using it, so I lowered it into the body a little.

'81 Custom w/EMG's

floydbreeze · 06-20-2008, 06:34 AM

My '84 Custom

05hummer · 06-20-2008, 09:34 AM

79 Custom

05hummer · 06-20-2008, 09:36 AM

79 Custom 25/50

Boleskinehouse · 06-20-2008, 10:07 AM

Hey, Hummer. Those things are the shiznit. Nothing cooler than a darkburst custom! Nice tops!

Thanks Boleskinehouse...
It took me about a rear to find the perfect(in my opinion) for the 25/50. Either they din't have enough flame or the were boat anchores... Both of my customs weigh in at 10 Lbs...

decoy205 · 06-20-2008, 11:49 AM

Beautiful Custom! Scoop up those Norlins while you can, because they aren't getting any cheaper!

Here is my 1969 & 1985 customs

floydbreeze · 06-23-2008, 08:31 AM
