Just bought myself a brand new Gibson Les Paul Standard, Tobacco Sunbirst for my 50th yesterday... I know I can't afford it.. had to trade in a few axes but I really wanted this one for years and it's gonna sound awesome onstage! Don't have pics of it yet so I'll steal them from online

Congrats on your aquisition of a sweet new guitar. Oh and happy birthday on your 50th. We are the same age for a couple of months. I hope your 50th year is better than mine so far. Phisically things start to change, in other words its all downhill from here bro LOL.

Happy 50 Crip, I bees 49 next Sunday, but I am still paying for the results of G.A.S. from last year, so no new guitar for mua.

Dude, I spied one of those in a shop over in Tyler the other day. :shock:
That is one sweet axe! Tobacco Sunburst is such a classic paint too.

Hell Yea!!!

I am curious, how many axes went into the purchase of this and how much did you owe after the trade-ins. Oh, and Happy Birfday to yah!!! Did you get your AARP card yet?

Well I sold 2 of my guitars so wasn't stupid enough to trade it in for pennies :wink: With tax and all, the guitar was almost 3 grand.... So I got about $1,500.00 for my 2 guitars and I owe 1500.00

LOL... Holy Crap.... No wonder a lot of peeps have the Standard! :shock: This thing sounds and plays awesome! I have a beautiful Les Paul Classic and another LP Studio but they don't compare to this one... Well worth the sacrifice! :wink:
