Hi everyone,
Fortunate to be posting my second NGD this year. It’s my birthday this month and my wife asked if I would like to get a new guitar. So I replied ........yes.....yes I do. Earlier that day I’d been looking at a new batch of Wildwood select Les Paul 50s Standards they’d just got in. Love the unburst finish on the 50s Standard (normally only available on the 60s Standard). Here’s a few professional pictures from Wildwood, and one not so professional one taken by me on arrival. For some reason the photo gets rotated to landscape when uploaded.
Really liking the 50s neck and the underwound 59 pickups. Really clear and sweet but they can rock too. Most of my other guitars have thinner necks but I’m finding this fatter one really comfortable. The guys at Wildwood were fantastic and did a great setup before shipping. My music room is now full of the smell of crafted wood and nitro lacquer new guitar smell! This is my second WW select, the other being in dark cherry sunburst. I’ve found them to be really good. I love the new Gibson 50s and 60s standards in general and the selected flame tops and underwound vintage style pickups help make these WW select ones really special. Feel free to post your 50s Standard and WW select pictures also. You can never share too many Les Paul photos!

Nah, they are there just to keep the finish protected. Have seen nightmare stories about damage from the stands....ain't taking any chances.....even if it means keeping their feet warm
play her in good health and
