Well I did it I bought my first les paul!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a les paul classic premium plus in trans amber. I saw it on ebay made an offer and bought it so I have yet to actually hold it but theirs a return guarentee so that not a problem. Its a 2001 and looks awesome it has 2 59' seymour duncan pickups in the place of the stock and no fret wear. I guess the original owner was a collecter who always goes to this same place and just traded it in for another more expensive guitar(so they told me). When I get it this week I'll post what I like and dislike about it.
I just wanted to thank everyone who took time to give me some advice I really appreciate it. The fellow with the yamaha I just read your post after I bought mine so I never had the opportunity to try out the yamaha model, hopefully I didnt make a huge mistake.
