NGD.. Les Paul STD Quilt Top Regal Purple

Played almost every Les Paul in Nashville today and came home with this one. It's a 2011 LP Standard Quilt Top Regal Purple. I've been on the hunt for a good LP standard for the last 6 month and I'm super happy with this Standard. This one has a one piece back and BB's 1 and 2 pups, weights exactly 9 lbs, and push pull coil taps on both volume controls. I really liked that there's not really a drop in volume when you use the coil taps. I have AB'd my PRS SC245 that I've had for awhile with all kinds of Paul's and my conclusion is this... The Les Paul just sounds better all around I think in every department. Been playing it for hours and just now getting to my NGD thread. Oh, and I got a killer deal regardless but got a super killer deal from there being a couple dings on the back of the body. I'm a PRS man at heart but... I got the Les Paul fever man and the only remedy for it is MORE LES PAUL!!

wow awesome, congrats!

I LOVE Les Pauls, they're the real deal!

I'd love me a PRS Singlecut but when I tried one back to back in the store next to a good LP Standard, the LP just sounded rounder and beefier. Good choice!

Gorgeous. The Quilt tops are bit less common and beautiful. Great acquisition!

That's pretty sick. Good luck with it.

Nice ....
