My New Les Paul Custom (Black Beauty)

Hi bluesguitar65: nice guitar, nice sounds, nice cave! Congrats.

But wait. I'm seeing black lacquer - check. I'm seeing a bound headstock - check. And gold hardware - check.

But only two pickups.

For the less Gibsonly educated amongst us, tell us; do we still get to call that a Black Beauty if it doesn't have three pickups? I expect you're right, but...

?

Anyway. Great job!

Cheers - C

I had a Gibson Les Paul Custom once, well back in the early eighties actually. It was re-issue 56 I think. Who I bought it off called it a Black Beauty and it had two pick ups, a P90 at the bridge and a small black double coil at the neck ( I can't remember now what that was ) I have some pictures somewhere, I'll find 'em.
Unfortunately I had to sell it. One of the big regrets I have, letting it go.

A Strat is certainly one of the ones I had in mind. Though there's many others too. Er... a Gibson Black Beauty for example.

Well okay, it's here.

I can see now that mine was a 54 re-issue and I know what the pup was now, too. Glad I looked :lol:
