Chap locally was selling-up as he's heading away. On impulse I bought his LP Traditional and half-stack. All minty. He chucked in a Cry Baby and a nice Epiphone acoustic too. Mrs is home from work in an hour. I've decorated the amp so it blends-in.

That’s quite an impulse ! Rad

That’s quite an impulse ! Rad

Cheered me up after a crap day at work.

It also has the bonus of being able to cheer up the entire neighbourhood when used in anger

Nice, I’m also fully leaning into my natural bent towards a LP into a Marshall stack, love that combo! Although generally against the sensibilities of any young/modern players opinion. Plugging in certainly brings a smile after a rough day.

You can't beat the classics, its like a Strat into a Fender Deluxe Reverb, these are magical combinations!

I wish I had some Christmas cheer like that! Good score.

I'm impressed with your camouflage skills, I don't think your partner will even notice it is there

Nice LP. Is it a 2012 perchance?

What makes you say that, out of interest? All I can tell is that it isn't a 2014 due to the normal 12th fret inlay.

the 2012s had laminated fingerboards which were later changed back to a single piece. I'd be curious if there was any discernible difference. I suspect not but the guys on MLP were up in arms about the whole thing.

Still has all the case candy including a final inspection sign-off and photograph dated 2017. Serial 1st and 5th are 1 and 0 so that's interesting.

From 2014 to 2018 Gibson used a different format for serial numbers where the year was indicated by the first two digits (yyxxxxxxx).

With or without? I'm thinking with.
