Very nice..... one of the few Gibsons I own (and absolutely love) is a 2005 Standard Les Paul - first year for their Faded series. Very thin matte finish nitro on it that just feels great to play (not sticky on the back of the neck or where my arm rests on the body) and looks great too. Great catch ...

Very nice.... I'm a sucker for a plaintop.
Is it a satin / matte finish? I like that!

Can't help but giggle at the post above

Beautiful!

Oh yeah.... love a good slow blues where someone isn't doing a wanker imitation of SRV. That's a great clip you put up....Love Kirk Fletcher. Great player and singer.

I don't think there was an LS160 in 2009. I bought a brand new LS150 in 2009.

Jeezus!! Glad you're okay. I sold my big cruiser for fear of the same thing happening. Far too many close calls with jackasses swerving into my lane at 80mph while they're busy texting on their f'ng phones. Never put my bike down but it was just a matter of time before someone clipped me. I actually...

Harmony Ukulele - circa 1968
First real guitar was a MIJ Univox Les Paul in 73. Think there was a cheap no brand acoustic in between.

Wow...52 gold top.
My guess is that it was a special run for Gottfried. I bought a special run 54 wraptail goldie from him.

Not the high end models

It's not nitro, even if his keen fingers detect it. Unless it was refinished and thats doubtful given the serial number is still there. 2 piece back = LS70F.
