Un-friggin'-believable!! :rawk: :wave:

Dewd...this rocks!
I've seen this one advertised and was just blown away!

Well, it seems that Santa has stopped by your area a little early. :thumb:

Enjoy Don. :wave:

I know this was posted quite a while ago but I'm late to the party- Don, that is just flat out perfect!
I've had a couple originals pass through my hands over the years- that baby nails it. Wow.

Hey Brit..........I'd put this guitar down for about a month, and was playing others......and, after picking it up yesterday and plugging into an old JMP/half stack, it blew my mind again!! Great tone in this puppy........I've put 11's on it, and love the way it plays, but I have to have the neck tweeked to "flatten out" the action just a tad.

Just what strings did you put on there, Don? I mean the 11s?

I really like 11s on a Les Paul, and I absolutely :love: LOVE :love: the solid/pure nickel wrapped, round-cored "Pure Blues" sets in .011" - .050" gauges from DR. They're just perfect for a Les Paul type. Just ask Derek and Warren! I highly recommend that you try 'em on that particular guitar, you might never put anything else on it.

Are they nickel-plated steel (wound strings), or solid/pure nickel? (I know D'Addario makes both.)

Sorry for the delay, Caevan.....I've got the nickel wound D'Addario 11's on my Burst Brother's Les Paul. I had the neck adjusted and the action is right where I like it.

This guitar is simply amazing.............like an old friend that you never want to part with.

Caevan............I took your advice, and got some DR "Pure Blues" nickel round core strings..........I'll put them on my Burst Brother's LP when it need it's' next string change.

In the mean time, this BB LP is $ucking amazing...........what a GREAT GUITAR. It's got soul..............
