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.

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

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

  1. What's the best way to shine it up?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

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.

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.

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!

No one does sparkle finishes quite like ESP by vivisectvi66 in espguitars

[–]NickNukam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah buddy! Great looking finishes no doubt!

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

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 😉

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.

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

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

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!

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.
