I bought exactly that LP in early '22. Two years down the line it's already starting to look really nicely "un-new". The metal parts have all become tarnished and the finish is dulling. As with every LP I've owned I took the scratch plate off. Still smells amazing thanks to the nitro. Enjoy!
I can't wait for mine to start ageing! Has the nitro started to 'check' yet? always wondered how long that takes, I've read temperature has a lot to do with it. Ive never taken the scratch plates off, i'm a bit of a purist like that though haha Thanks for commenting! :)
@@kemdo123 no checking yet but the all the areas where hands and arms etc contact the body and neck when playing are obviously “rubbed”. When I polish the back of the neck now the finish is like glass…super smooth.
Thanks for the video man! Really helped me decide to get one! Awesome guitar yours looked so good

@@nigelsmith721Sounds like you’re far ahead than me with the ageing! Hope it looks killer when it gets older 😎
Looks and sounds absolutely stunning
Thank you :)
Very informative! The top on your les Paul is amazing 😮
Glad you liked it!
beautiful!
@@stephenedgecock thank you! 🙏
This is the best video I’ve seen on these Gibsons. Down to earth and straight to the point, you nailed it Mike! I might have to to and buy one now!!
Thank you! Hopefully spoke on the important point to help people make their mind up 😁
Great video Mike. Fab guitar too, I think you picked a really nice colour!
Thanks!
Me too, it’s a gorgeous colour 😍
Great video! Think this has helped me to make up my mind, great playing as well btw! 😊
