Topic: NGD: #129 Is In The House!!!

As posted a few days ago - this is a dream come true for me finally - to get a JB Gold Top LP...  #129 took LESS THAN A WEEK to ship from Arizona to Darwin, Australia...

I couldn't be happier...

Re: NGD: #129 Is In The House!!!

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!  My work productivity is seriously suffering at the moment as I want to take every opportunity to plug this LP in and shake the walls...   big_smile

Thanks Joe - the weight is nice, a bit heftier than I am used to, but not unmanageable.  Love the playability.  The big neck just feels natural to me, probably from years of playing a classical guitar.  Sounds damn killer - those Burstbuckers ROCK!  Just wish I had the playing ability to do this guitar justice.

I am bringing it to Adelaide next week, and Alexis was fantastic in getting my name on the list for the meet & greet prior to your show there so I in turn would be honoured if you could give it a short test play and appraisal then...  cool
