You're a great player. I like seeing (and hearing) these affordable Les Pauls. I have a red studio that was always really enjoyable. Then I took it to a luthier and wow, what I got back is a dream machine. Got the guitar for $700, later spent another $100 for some blemishes and a pro setup. To me at least, it feels and sounds like top of the line.
That’s awesome, glad you found someone who does quality work. Nothing better than an inspiring instrument, nothing worse than an annoying one. Heck of a deal you secured \m/
I have 2017 tribute, mahogany neck, same pups. Love it sounds great, frets are wearing down a d the pcb board/ pots are failing..I play a lot and aggressive. Will probably refret and get 1950s wiring kit...love it
Really appreciate you chiming in! Will you go with Stainless frets? I don’t play “a lot” these days but did in the 80s and never felt the need to re-fret. What fret size do you like to start with? I figure with jumbos you’ve got at least one, if not two fret jobs before re-fretting…?
@oldguyjammin9732 mine seem a bit small, maybe a fret job could work ....any new guitar will be jumbo and stainless...I want to dig in. Big bends and vibrato. Revstar has my attention...I want stability and playability
Main reason i wont buy second hand unless from an actual reputable place that has return policy …even then I prefer new with payment plans ,for a coupla reasons ..one : im poor😬, two: if i dont click with or its got issues etc big box places take back usually no question but if not i can stop payment source on it till they take it back…ive never had to use 2 but its nice to have
I have this guitar in lefty and almost returned it because i bought it as new from a payment online store as new and it came with receipt from another sale of,it to another customer from a different online payment store 😂.. so it was obviously not brand new , it had no issues except 1 long black hair in the gig bag 🤢 lol ..i sat with it for a couple days and it just looks so great and was perfect so i kept it . Now only if i could play it half as well as you But that would require a real commitment from my old tired ass that im not really ready to make ,again and fail.
So unfortunate Reverb has turned into what it has. Good on Reverb for eventually stepping in but still sticks it has to come to that as nearly 90% of most transactions do today on Reverb. Great axe!
Yep, super happy with it. I could have returned it, but never wanted to cause everything about it was ‘right’ - it just was not “mint” and that bugged me. But I’m over it and movin’ on!
Whilst I believe you didn't ding it to get some money back, some people play those types of games. I've been reluctant to sell some of my stuff on Reverb or eBay for this very reason. I've heard of people getting buyer's remorse and intentionally smashing whatever they've bought to claim it was "damaged" in transit. Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer people who operate under an honour system.
I hate to even imagine that to be true, but I know it is… and it really sucks. I couldn’t believe the seller accused me, cause I sent pics the same day I received it. I agreed to pay more for MINT buy it just wasn’t and that griped me. Either way, it’s a great guitar and I’m blessed to have it. Love it \m/

👍❤️🤘
Hey OG good to see you back. 🤘
Happy Thanksgiving Mac - grab one of these up my man, perfect ‘old guy’ guitar, even matches my lap blanket ;-)
Great guitars! Had a Tribute 60’s model with P90’s. Fantastic guitar for the money.
Couldn’t agree more \m/

Well said, and sage advice… buyer be ware - always.
