**** mate I'm still laughing my ass off!! Thank Gillian for the pic.
Best laugh I've had for ages, seriously!!

Thanks man. She's actually a 2012 Standard.
She's an awesome geet buddy. I'm still in the slow process of settling her in. It takes a while but, eventually she'll finally be set up and ready for lots of gigging.

(all that new wood you know)

Cheers

Although you have already owned one, Blackie and I would like to welcome you to the not-so-select club of SG wackos. We all just love these thin slices of gravy-drippin, finger licken Gibson goodness. You are one of US, now, brother!

I just bought 2 Les Pauls this past month. It's going to be a little while before I purchase another guitar. I can't even afford these LP's! Thanks for the heads up. I sure would like to get that new 2013 Standard someday since now they look a lot more like '61 RI's.

Hey, every guitar is different, even amongst SG's. I always prefer playing a guitar and trying it out before I purchase. That's the way I am, but the online ordering has become very popular in the past few years. I like the LP Traditionals because they seem more affordable than LP Standards. What do they usually go for? I'm guessing around $1,500?

Thanks buddy...thanks all around! I belong to quite a few different guitar forums, but this forum is my all time favourite. You scored a killer guitar. I would like to get a '61 RI which is what the new Standards look like. I just love the beveling on them and the short neck tenon.

Thanks for the friendship request! It's good to meet new members on this great forum.

not yet. i posted a few photos, did you see the? apparently the guy did a crappy job. so i got the name of a guy in manhattan whos really good and i am going to bring it there. i will do all the other work on my guitar, but nothing on the neck or frets, yet. i am hoping that this new guy can solve the problem.

with a tusq nut, it never has to be lubed. any other kind it has to be lubed whenever you change strings. if its pre-notched, the notches may not match your guitar. if you are going to change the nut yourself, and have never done it before, then get a pre notched. if a tech is going to do it, get a blank.
