I took it apart tonight. By that I mean I took out both pickups to check the cavity and back of the pickups, took off the backplate to see the inside (it has the circuit board as expected), and I also took off the pickguard. Everything is as expected.

My Marshall has a new friend.



Congrats. A beauty for sure. Enjoy!

Hey Kev, the color is actually much darker then it shows up in the pic. I wish it wasn't quite so dark.

About to install some rotomatic locking tuners so the thing will hold tuning better despite having it setup professionally.
I have a 2011 60s Tribute goldtop with P90s. It rocks! Tribute Les Pauls are probably the best 'bang for your buck' Les Pauls.

Hey Bob - it came with a pickguard installed. I took it off and it's going to stay off. I did put both screws back in the body and put the pickguard/washers in a ziplock bag and it'll go with the case candy.
I like it without. Good choice!

Case candy includes the manual, the sign off sheet, a pic of the guitar at the setup station, and the multitool. I have a few of these Gibson multitools. They're very nice (stock pic):



Standard case also included.

That is one lively little Les Paul right there... have fun!!!

Hey jseth - you're close, just a little more. They all have different pickups except for two of them so they all have their own flavor of tone.

Welcome to the AGF, Picker, and thanks. I'm sure your 60s reissue is fantastic. Is it an R0 or another reissue (i.e. 60s classic)?
