NGD 2008 G0 VOS......I hate you all!!!!

So I joined MLP a couple years ago because I finally managed to get my first LP (my sweet '07 LP Classic Antique). One should be enough, right? Well thanks to you all, my GAS has culminated into this 2008 Gibson Les Paul 1960 G0 Plaintop VOS. I hate you all for making me do this.

May it be a long and happy hate!

Love that look, I'm beginning to think that tobacco burst is the most underrated of the bursts (fair disclosure---I have a darkburst R myself) even if the neck leaves something to be desired. (Except for my own Classic Antique I've never played a slim neck on which I was comfortable---I love my bat!)

Beautiful G0. The only thing better than a Les Paul is TWO (or more) Les Pauls. Remember you're not spending money, you're making an investment.
