Totally different sound, vibe and playability from my lps. Really cool, though. Ill post pics when I get some, but its all black, "none more" as someone would say :)

wow nice. great guitar for metal.

you are braver than me bidding on that. without seeing the back of the headstock that could be a non gibson. looks like it is though.

not keen on those knobs. If it where me id invest in some gibson knobs and a black truss rod cover with a gibson logo on it.

great buy.

I know what youre saying. I was a little leery at first until I talked to the guy.I put the original mirrored gibson truss ro cover back on. I actually like the barrel knobs. Ive got them on one of my other lps. They seem to feel better than the "top hat" style knobs.

that guitar would look really cool with the blank truss rod cover, if you got a gibson decal and put it on the end of the headstock, like on the jimi hendrix V.

Nice. At the very least you should get a Gothic V truss cover, they have the silver lettering. I don't like those knobs either, but I'm a big fan of witch hat knobs.
