Thank you all! This guitar is special, I can feel it already. It's like that with my guitars: either I feel connected to them from the very beginning and can then deepen and evolve the relationship, or I'm not going to keep them for long..
I once had a nice Gibson LP Classic, there was nothing wrong with it, but I just never bond with it. Hard to describe, it really is a feel thing.
Anyways, this one here has it all. It looks sexy as hell, playability is superb! I really dig the neck of it.
You can tell it has been played, but it still is in very good shape for it's age. Frets are still original, you can tell by the binding. Here is a detail:
I have played it today only unplugged, it already sounds huge and has lots of sustain. Tomorrow I will play one more hour or so unplugged to get to know it, then plug it in and crank it up. Looking forward to it!
Yes it is heavy, around 10 pounds, I have not weighed it myself yet. Not so long ago I promised myself not to buy any more heavy guitars, but you know... I just couldn't say no to this. Price was fair. Only one owner before me, and I could go and check it out before I bought it.
