NGD 1959 Les Paul VOS Dirty Lemon

[Lemon1975]

Hi, after loving Gibson guitars for over 30 years now, today my first Custom model arrived.
It's a new 2023 R9 in Dirty Lemon, and after some first playing I believe it is the best sounding guitar I ever had - what was the hope when paying a lot of money

 

[Les Paulette]

Very jealous

Dirty Honey Lemony goodness, congrats!

 

[Bwagster]

Congratulations, I just picked up a R9 VOS lemon burst too. Incredible guitar!

 

[Lemon1975]

Thanks!
@Bwagster have fun with your lemon

 

[corpse]

That is iconic. What a top.
And BW’s is a close match.
Both of you enjoy.

Very nice looking tops

BTW, I replaced the white toggle switch pin by the dark orange one that was supplied in the case as alternative.

Yep... So did I... I call it the Butterscotch knob...

What is the difference between revised and non-revised ABR-1?
