Now with fixed audio!
Hey kids! Here's my review of my lightly modified Chibson Les Paul that I bought back in September of this year. I've changed out a few things:
Truss Rod Cover
Plastics
Knobs
Position Indicators
Bridge
Bridge Pickup (Gibson 57 Classic Plus)
All told the upgrades add about $125 to the $305 I have into the guitar, bringing the total to $430 or so. Measure that against other options in that price range and choose accordingly!
If this is your ball of wax, your cup of tea, if it matches the cut of you jib or you feel like bending the law a bit, please educate yourself before wading into these waters! I have a few videos on Youtube, so of course you should start there! Once you're sick of me hit up the following:

Also be sure to check out videos by some of those who have come before me, like PixxyLixx, espltdguitarlover, telepathictraffic, Dino007 and many more. You'll get an idea of the different experiences everyone has.
PS the creepy Movember mustache is gone! My wife lets me take my kids to the park again. Enjoy!
