I checked them out, and they're not really the sound I want. They've definately got the sharper, harder rock edge, but they're kind of wasted on the softer sound. I want a more well-rounded pickup.

Oh, and I decided to see what it might look like with cream and gold. Observe.

I don't think cream and gold look good together

I know.

Then don't get cream and gold dude

But, the thing is, I like the gold hardware (plus, the Custom Plus is a much better quality guitar), but I like the gold tone & volume knobs too. The gold knobs, however, go much better with the cream plasticware (in fact, they look shitty with the black [I tried that too]).

I think I'll probably end up going with the Custom Plus with the black. Unless of course the cost is uproariously higher than the one I was looking at in the store...

Are you planning on paying all the money up front?

Yeah.

I don't think I mentioned, I got a bass for Christmas.

It's a Peavey, nice sound, black/sunburst styling. I'll see if I can get a pic up here.

Alas though, my bloody patch cable broke this weekend so I'm playing unplugged for the time being.

Sweet.

I'm still grasping at straws with this cream/gold thing.

Another attempt at getting a slightly different look at it.

Still not sure...

Cream and Gold is going to work dude. Its just not sexy

I know. Guess I can't have the best of both worlds.

So, I think I'll go with the black. Gold with black bindings is hella sexy.

Its gonna be sexy

Bobbo? Did you ever consider in purchasing a gibson?

Yeah. But I hurt my neck when I watched the price skyrocket.


Anywho, it's all orded up and everything (no money down!)

Not a bad price for a sweet ass little guit box.

reminds of the first time I bought a LP. good times


*reminices about former lp*

I should get it either late next week or some time in the week after that.

In two weeks you wont like it and will want to get rid of it, you'll see. I'll take it off your hands free of charge.

Once you got the taste for an LP, you'll never go back

God I wish I had mine
