When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with Les Pauls. I would cut out pictures from guitar magazines and grab catalog posters from music stores and tape them to my wall. Something about the look of that guitar just made me want to play and I would dream about it all the time, and the tobacco burst was easily my favorite color.
Fast forward 20 years. After searching and searching, I finally found the guitar that adorned my walls all those years ago... a ‘91 Les Paul Classic with a PERFECT tobacco burst. Not too much black on the edges, not too orange in the center, and a beautiful transition of brown.
Please meet my new baby.
It’s inspiring to play, and the slim neck is wildly fast, but I need to swap out the pickups for something with lower output. The bridge measures at 14k! You’ll be hearing this guitar a lot in the future.
