So I stopped by Sam Ash New Haven CT and this Les Paul followed me home:

50s Standard Honey Burst Faded.

Personal tweaks: Gold/gold reflector knobs, black switch tip & jack plate, blank TRC, & oversized strap buttons.

Congrats, that is an absolutely beautiful guitar, love the top. I don't blame you at all, I would have a hard time passing that one up as well.

Looks like it has a hang tag shadow just below the switch assembly, a la Redeye. Love it.

Congrats and HNGD!

Nice, enjoy!

Think about joining our New Originals Club if you're into those types of things. We need some of these faded LPs represented in there!

Rock on!

Beauty. Love that top. Wide flames and subtle. I think Honeyburst and Lemon are my personal favorite. Very nice. Congratulations.

Thanks! It looks a bit more "lemony" in natural light. I just updated the large pic (no flash).
