Good morning everyone. As some of you may now from reading previous posts, I am cheating on Fender. I went to Guitar Center, with my lifes savings, my brother, and my neighbor/photographer Larry. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's the trip.

I was immediatly impressed with the neck on this thing. It is a work of art. I consider myself unworthy of this beautiful guitars presence.
Hope you all enjoyed.

Nice Lp man and I'm sure it sounds great. Were you able to get a good deal on it. I couldn't help but notice the price tag.But then again I've never priced out those guitars. I'm sure its worth every penny. Congradulations on the new ax. The slide show was a nice touch.

Great thread ... and awesome guitar. Maybe it was in there and I missed it, but what was that model you settled on? Some special LP custom? How much?

brilliant post mate and congrats on the new lp.

im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous that we dont have guitar centre in the uk, god that place looks cool.

Congrats on the LP. Is it a 50's neck or a 60's?

Niki, your link did not work. I can't see what you want!

Now, let me look! Nice!!

Wood- awesome guitar mate- nce Gibson LP Supreme congratulations buddy, Id like to see a pic of all your guitars. I like the way you photographed it too and the Guitar Centre must be an awesome place... Id love to visit a shop like that one day

Nik- that Tokai is an awesome guitar, I like the grain on the maple where looking down at it you see a grain going down and the flame going across... thats a way to tell a nice top quality piece of flame maple and not a cheap plank of wood. Note also the one piece body. The one thing I nearly spilt my drink over is the price... with the current exchange rate here have you considered a gibson standard plus?

_________________

Blertes I have considered gibson, and still am. That guitar is only 50 miles from me so I'm gonna try and arrange a try nextweek. I figured that tokai have mede great guitars for 30 odd years now and constantly produced similar quality to the bigboys at 1/3rd cost. How much better would one of equall or greater cost be. I'm expecting masterbuilt quality at that price. A bit of digging reveals it to be a one man build much like FMIC masterbuilt.

All thanks to mr TheWood. My gas was quite under control till he got me looking round a few days back.

I knew they do great guitars too- wow interesting though, they do give ameriocan makers a good run for the money..

I must say- Im eyeing up a strat plus deluxe atm. GAS is like the clap. It comes back and hits you when you think you got rid of it

Which Gibson Humbuckers does it have in it? Nice LP for sure!
