Hi everyone, I?m obviously new here. I?m getting back into buying guitars after a 7 year hiatus.
One of the things I?ve always wanted was a really nice tobacco sunburst Les Paul. I?ve owned some off the shelf Les Paul?s in the past as well as a historic 58 reissue and they really didn?t do it for me. I searched for a flame top Love Rock, but was never able to find one for sale. I?m in the US and this was before broadband Internet.
I went to the local Gibson retailer today and looked at a couple of AAA top Standards and a left the shop empty handed thinking I could do better for the money. I also looked at a ?59 reissue and honestly I think it should have had a better top for that kind of money.
I?ve decided to go and find a nice Love Rock instead of messing with the Gibson stuff. The ?59 reissue was nice, but it just wasn?t worth the money too me. I?m not asking for anyone to give up any sources or anything, but can you guys tell help me start looking for and learning about the different Love Rock models?
Thanks in Advance!
