I have a Greco Les Paul Custom from '87, and it's absolutely worthy of the name. Great guitar there!

Thanks! I bet that Custom is amazing.

These japanese plaintops are just irresistible, what an amazing guitar :?

I love that these imports are gradually finding their way to us, they really deserve all the hype. For a couple of years I had a black Custom early 90's Burny (which I bought from Ishibashi, great guys!) that I still miss sometimes.

How are the pickups? ::)

They're fantastic; they really nail it. The OOP middle position is especially sweet.

The light was just perfect, so I had to make a photo:

No surprise, it loves the Z Vex Box Of Rock.

Thank you!

I put it on Flickr, and it went to "Explore." It's got over 5,000 views now. Nuts!

It is awesome.

The addition of something as retro as a magazine will capture the hearts of the 20 year olds ;D
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?
