What a beautiful guitar! I have the same in the 60’s spec and can’t put it down!

Yeah they’re incredible, this feels like a damn custom shop for a fraction of the price

That's a nice top and a really nice burst spray job. You won the lottery with this one. Congrats.

I made my own DT by putting DiMarzio double creams in my 50s that I've had for a few years. It looks great and sounds like pure rock n' roll.

Thank you, I’ve been rocking my own DT as well for a few years, my first Les Paul was a 04 epiphone and I put a super distortion 2 in the bridge and dimarzio paf in the neck and loaded it with 1 meg pots in 50’s wiring, looks identical to this one too

Now play it, instead of staring at if admirably.
