My wife and I are huge gipsy jazz fans. My personal favorite player is Dorado Schmidt. 

The The Paul is my favorite LP variation. GLWTS

These are great! 👍 I have a LP Deluxe from the same series. It more than satisfies all my Les Paul needs and envies. Also a couple of their Fender copies from the "Vintage Series" (late 90s'-early 00s'). They're absolutely brilliant!

That's what's been in mine for a couple weeks now, since the Greg-approved Rio Grande died in its sleep. I much prefer the Wolfetone. And yes, there was a SD pickup in the case when I got the guitar. I never got to try it, but if it was the same model as what was in my '94 Special, I don't...

These are great. I have the mahogany version.

I have one! It's a Gibson USA limited edition, made in 2001, a year after they did the Custom Shop run. I believe it's more or less based on Pete's '67 (?) "Live at Leeds" SG. Mine is great: one-piece body, semi-gloss finish, medium neck,... It has PT's signature on the back of the headstock...

Great pics of a great guitar. I have a slightly older version of it from their OS line, with Saytone pickups (a rather confidential Japanese boutique builder).  I have also a Tele, which is perfect in every aspect, as well a as a '51 P bass from their pricey K&T line, with a pickup...

Massive fan of MIJ guitars here. Being living in Japan for 35 years, I've had the pick of the litter, starting from mid-70s' "lawsuit" Ibanezes to recent ones from makers such as Bacchus/Momose, Crews, VanZandt,...   I've recently had to drastically downsize my once considerable stash, and...

Currently 9, down from 14.

I've had the same experience as BadgerDave with the Firebird. I found myself being off by two or three frets many time and first position chords were a pain to play.I also wasn't crazy about the slim taper neck or the harsh (ceramic?) pickups.

My '00 Newport looks pretty much like that. It bummed me a little at first but I quickly forgot about it. 

I loved the look and tone of my '92 Special, but the neck was so skinny as to be near unplayable for me. It broke my heart. My '94 red Special has a great medium neck, but it ain't sunburst! 

Well, if Montelovesco or yourself have planned to come to Japan to see the fall colors ;) , I have one for sale in Tokyo that you could take back with you. I don't mind shipping, but I can't see myself wrestling with bureaucrats to get a certificate. 

It was a pleasure! I saw it was in Customs over the weekend. I hope you had no problems getting it.

Great-looking guitar! Deviser does korina right ! (I have/had a few)
