Congrats Brian! :-bd

I had an SX copy of that, I sold it two years ago due to finance woes.

Thanks fellers. A nice plain Jane relatively inexpensive (for a Gibby) workhorse, suits me.

What do you think about the baked maple? I've never got to check that out.

Not really a big deal either way, to me anyhow. The grain is tighter and the wood is a little harder/denser than rosewood, but honestly if I didn't know it was maple I might not even have noticed.

Noice! Boat anchors or not, there's something to a Gibby!

Many modern Pauls are weight relieved or chambered.

At any rate LP Specials and Juniors generally have never been particularly heavy since they have a thinner flat-top body without the arched maple cap,

My boat anchor only weighs 7 pounds.

LP Special's aren't known to be "boat anchors". Now, 70's era LP Customs,....
