I’ve mainly played Fenders for the past 35 years. I’ve owned a few Gibsons but never spent a lot of time with them. I bought a ‘86 SG Standard about two years ago and it mainly stayed in a case. About a month ago I pulled her out because I was going to sell her off. I ended up playing for 2 hours and since then I’ve been smitten with it. To the shock of my band members and other guitar playing friends, I have no desire to play any of my Fenders.
This afternoon I traded an older Toyota pickup truck for an ‘83 Les Paul. I have 3 Orville LP’s and an Epi LP, but this is the first Gibson LP I’ve ever owned. It appears to be totally stock and is in great shape. I mostly took her apart and everything looks like it should. I didn’t check the pots because the shielding cover is a pain to take off and on. A buddy of mine is all about LP’s who’s offered to help me with that.
Here she is after cleaning her up.
