NGD Les Paul Custom Black Beauty

Is it a ‘68 reissue or did you swap it? To my knowledge only the 68RI’s had the chrome option.
Not a '68 reissue as far as I know. I got it from Sweetwater back in 2011 and it was just described as a LPC - Ebony with Chrome hardware. I had been looking for that style for awhile, I've never liked gold hardware in general. Alex Lifeson had one and after seeing it I knew that was the style I wanted. I just added chrome pickup covers because I prefer that look.

the black was 500 less…now it’s 800 less.
I played for years with a les paul and experienced the same complaints everyone else whines on and on about. But I just love the sound.

I was a non-whiner. I didn't get it. Even when cats like Jerry Cantrell
had surgery to repair issues from wielding an LP. Come on man!!

Then this year happened. I am done suffering for art's sake. :)

Oh, and I still think the dreaded tuning issues with LPs are a bunch
of malarkey. The weight is real, though.
