The Les Paul Custom

Post by GrantB »

OK, seems like some of us have Customs...so save spamming other threads, here's our own. I'll start.

I've had four Customs. 1973, 1974, Late 90's, 2015(?).

'73 - I gigged with this last night. It is such a great sounding guitar, Clear, fat, but still crunchy.

'74

Opsguy has the 2015 back - can you confirm the year Phil? That is a great sounding guitar.

Oh... So much 'jumpers for goal posts' on that Randy Rhoads, wish I'd never sold one just like it, ebay co.uk is too expensive, etc etc.

Not huge...more accurately like a real 54 neck, without the soft V. Similar to an R9...maybe slightly more C.
