I've had a '68 'Paul since '72. Originally a gold-top, but the finish was somewhat damaged when I got it, so I had it refinished, to a similar finish to the Ultra II shown here.
While being one of the heaviest (if not the heaviest) guitars I've played, it's got a feel like none other.
My other Gibson is a '66 Melody maker......much lighter, still nice feel.
Yes, I have to F'ders too...strat\tele........, but the 'Paul is still my fav.
please toss my name in the hat...
thanks,
