Man I'm so STOKED! I cannot wait to get her!

I'm open to suggestions for names for her.

Thanks to Jeff for resizing the pisc so I could post them here!

webmaster edit: reduced size of the link, which makes it easier to read the page.

... couldn't see the photos, but it might be sumthing wrong on my side.

[bvmjethead]

Are the pictures working for anybody?

[MrMike]

Yup. I have drool on my keyboard to prove it. :mrgreen:

[bvmjethead]

She's a beaut isn't she.

I'm so happy to be fortunate enough to get her.

[kewlpack]

Nice axe! :D

An advance welcome to the club, bruddah! (seeing that you haven't received it yet)

The '58 RI I have is nothing short of inspirational; and I could ditch all my other guitars and just keep the '58, and be a very happy man. It's truly the only instrument I care to play as a general rule; NOT because it's a Historic, Not because it's a '58, and NOT because it's a LesPaul (I've owned at least 6 other LP's in the last 30 years); no, the reason WHY, is because it sounds so GREAT.

I have done a few tweaks and tricks here and there 'under the hood'; but this was the best sounding, off the rack guitar I have ever come across in my life.

Hope you find yours as satisfying a guitar!

Two Thumbs UP!!!

I feel the same way about my 59 RI.

bvmjethead, I think you'll love your R8. Go check out the LPF www.lespaulforum.com

[bvmjethead]

Yeah, the LPF is quite the place.

I've been hanging out over there since about Christmas......making a nuisance, causin a ruckus.

Hey man,

I'm sorry I didn't recognize your handle at the LPF. I realized that I responded to one of your posts. I think you'll really enjoy your Lester. I think the Historics are something special. Give us an update when it gets to you. 8)

[bvmjethead]

No prob OB!

She's in either the big brown plane right now or in a big brown truck.

Slated for early Saturday (today) delivery.

Pray with me for a safe journey?

[bvmjethead]

What, no suggestions for naming her?

[stephen]

What, no suggestions for naming her?

Hmm, "Baby"? "Number 1" "R8chel" (pronounced Rachel), "Lady Prudence" (L.P.), or in your personal sense, "SHE'S MINE!" :lol:

[bvmjethead]

SHE'S HERE!

UPS man dropped her off at 9:05 AM this morning.

Gotta go play some more!

Thanks guy's for the prayers for her safe journey.

[kewlpack]

What, no suggestions for naming her?How about "My Offering" - it is only because God allows us to obtain these tools that we have them. Even then, we give them back to him.

[Teleguy]

Now THAT's what I call a Les Paul!

Classic concept and appearance (not to mis-name the model).

I have had an old black Custom, and some newer Jr's, etc. but there's a store near here that has a whole wall of really nice (and high end) Les Pauls.
I always go there to kick the tires. :wink:

[bvmjethead]

Guy's, guy's......guitars are like ships in that they are named after women.

Ya know like she's a beautiful guitar, look at the flame in that top.....

[reverbbb]

How about:

A whole lot of Rosie

Heather (I love that name)

Kelly Girl (I love that name too)

Angel

I must say, I have an extremely soft heart for plain tops. You my friend, have an outstanding example.

[bvmjethead]

OK, OK Heather is in the running.........I like that, Heather.

[stephen]

For some reason all I see is the image tag/link, and when I click on it, and tells me to download something to my disc. So I copied it and sent it to my photobucket account:

SWEEEEEEET! I do think she looks like a R8chel (Rachel), but you gotta name her.

So details man, details! What's she like? How does she sound! What blows you away about her?

[bvmjethead]

I like Rachel spelled.......Rachyl.

OK, so Rachyl and Heather are in the running.

[Teleguy]

I call my wife "The Colonel," because she rouses and rallies the troops!

Feel free to rip it off, if you like. :roll:
