It arrived today in really great shape, and man is this ever one killer LP! Turned out to have a Dimarzio Air Zone in the bridge (sweet!), and I believe it dates to 1981 judging by the serial and info I found online (though I could be wrong, there's a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to some of these LP copies). Plays great with nice low action, and sounds huge. It has some weight to it for sure like a good LP should, but it's not a boat anchor like a lot of LPs I've come across.
Posting some pics here since I don't think I've ever come across one of these anywhere else online (minus one cryptic post on MLP that didn't provide much useful info), and I'll get some clips up shortly as well because it really is a killer sounding guitar.
)...it's a combination of looking fairly often (I usually spend maybe 15-20 mins a day browsing), and knowing what to search for because sometimes stuff will get traded in and then not show up when you filter by "newest first". I like to find interesting custom stuff, so I'll always do a search for "custom" or "usa" and sometimes really interesting stuff comes up. I also search by brands I like (Warmoth, Suhr, Kiesel, etc). This old LP was just listed with the brand name, but I could tell it had some high end specs even from the crappy GC photos so I decided to pull the trigger. Sometimes I'll just filter it "low price to high price" and take a browse through a bunch of pages. Every couple of weeks something cool tends to pop up.
