92' LPB1 simple beauty
« on: January 04, 2013, 08:25:03 AM »
Not in the cards for me at the moment but hope someone on this board can grab a good deal.

That's an early non-preamp model. It's a decent buy at the starting price.

 My favorite guitar is the Les Paul Jr in that finish with a P90. When these came out I thought I was going to love it, turned out not to be for me. That is a nice price for the opening bid.

Yeah it does look like Leslie's LP Jr. They made these in tv yellow too, which would also be cool. G.O.T., curious why you didn't like it? I've heard Uwe describe them as sounding closer to an old thunderbird compared to the standards.

I bought one of these last week in the same "turdburst" finish. it was in rough shape, but it will be revived as an 8 string very soon.
