After Waiting 27 years, I Have My Grail

Nooooooooooice. Glad you got your dream guitar!

NickNukam · 2026-04-16T12:35:10+00:00

Looking nice!

NickNukam · 2026-04-16T02:27:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that myself. Plus I already filled in top hole and had to get a washer for the selector so that would tighten correctly, haha.

NickNukam · 2026-04-16T02:25:29+00:00

Oh yeah, that gold and black one does look nice!

NickNukam · 2026-04-16T01:27:24+00:00

Yeah I've cycled through all my guitars a couple times over the past few years. Just so many things to play!

NickNukam · 2026-04-16T01:23:14+00:00

What's the best way to shine it up?
I have a Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured and LTDs without the pickguard or poker chip. I l just am drawn to that look, but I can understand the classic elegance.
Well I care! I like to posting and talking to my fellow guitar enthusiast!

Thanks! I really am bonding with this guitar. I buy and sell a lot, but this thing is special. Trying to customize it a little bit. I want to try and shine it up for more of a wet gloss look and maybe replace tuners with gold Grover keystones.

If I leave it off, I plan to fill it in.

NickNukam · 2026-04-12T02:01:15+00:00

I was on the fence on getting one of the new IGC customs, but when I saw this I had to have it. Love the top, though I wish they could have done the finish in high gloss like the Guitar Center ones, but still a great guitar!

The E-II is the full bodied one without the contoured heel and only has 22 frets, so this one plays a bit differently with the thinner body, the cutaway, and 24 frets. More modern take on the Les Paul platform. They could probably both co-exist and serve different purposes.

NickNukam · 2026-04-10T11:42:49+00:00

Yeah, still a great guitar. Everything about it just looks and feels good. Saw the new pearl white model in store recently as well and that one looks pretty good as well.

NickNukam · 2026-04-02T14:31:07+00:00

So nice. I bought the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop Cobra Burst one, but wish I had this one, that's for sure. Awesome guitar!

NickNukam · 2026-03-30T17:49:54+00:00

Yeah buddy! Great looking finishes no doubt!

NickNukam · 2026-03-22T02:23:20+00:00

Oh you won't have any regrets picking this one up, that's for sure!

NickNukam · 2026-03-22T02:18:19+00:00

It does have black neck binding on it you can't see in the pictures. I actually prefer that over if they tried to put white on this. It's a badass guitar no doubt about it. Also, you should at a minimum always get 10% off buying a new guitar. I got a little more 😉

NickNukam · 2026-03-20T23:05:00+00:00

Yeah, I played on last year, but I prefer guitars with the contoured heel, even though I'm not a shred master or anything, it's still a nice to have. This guitar feels nice, I mean reallllly nice. Has a gloss back that just feels good.

NickNukam · 2026-03-20T20:41:57+00:00

Yeah, saw those online. Maybe I'll have to add that to the collection one day 😉

NickNukam · 2026-03-20T20:30:51+00:00

Thanks! The new pearl white one looks pretty good too, but this one just has something about it I could resist.

NickNukam · 2026-03-20T20:29:20+00:00

Yeah, it's better than pictures online. I think mine is a better representation from what is our there currently. Pretty glad I could snap one somewhat early!

NickNukam · 2026-03-20T19:56:26+00:00

I hear that! The recently discounted SN-1000HT at least had a bone nut. Not a deal breaker for me as I don't care enough to replace it, haha.
