The Grover tuners are awsome! Love the pickups. What do you think of that neck? I'm serious, 2 USA Gibbys and I like my Epi the best. Way to go OWA ... ummmm Grunge Sunset.

I'm most impressed that you were able to leave it in the box long enough to go and get the camera....
Have a great time together.
Cheers,

I've had it for a week so here's a quick review:
It has to be the best guitar I've played. After getting it home and plugging it into the amp I got that ballsy chunky sound that you'd associate with a Les Paul. At least darn close as I don't own a Marshall amp. Neck feels great, sound sustains for days on end and the finish is gorgeous. My only complaints are the body is heavy. I anticipated it would be heavier than my Jag but not by this much. I can't play it sitting down at all as it hurts my leg. Standing up I'm ok for a bit though. Secondly, the rhythm pickup is a little dark for my tastes. I did have issues with it staying in tune but that problem seems to be going away. I think it is the new strings as opposed to the guitar.
+ Great tone, classic Les Paul sound
+ Amazing sustain
+ Gorgeous guitar
- Body weighs a lot
- rhythm pickup a bit too dark
? What tonal problems with the silver paint? I hear none.

Les Pauls are supposed to be heavy. Stop whining :lol:
You might try lowering the neck pickup a tad, with the treble side being a bit higher. That might help brighten it up a bit.
Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
Yep, Les Paul's are pretty heavy. We forgot to mention all of the upper body muscles you'll be adding! :P

Yup, they do have some weight to them. Some people get used to it. I got used to it. I've heard people complain about that neck pick-up. What kinds of things are you trying to play where it's coming out too dark? I play a lot of lighter stuff, so the neck pickup is perfect for me. On occasion, I take a walk down harder rock lane and sometimes use my mid position and twiddle with the outputs for a nice blend of dark and bright. I play mostly clean, so that's happens very rarely.
I think it's the body. My Epi SG came with those same pick-ups. It was a bit brighter up top. Still sounded way too much like the LP, so I bit the bullet and added some SDs to it. Now it's very much brighter. I'm not going to touch my LP though. I like it just the way it is. Only thing I had to do was replace the selector switch. Had to on my SG and my Ibanez GAX-70 with the same style switch too. Odd.
