That there ES goldtop is really nice, lovely, special and wonderful. Who would not want one?

Just looked at their website, wish I hadn't... If I was in the US, a purchase would have been made!

You don't know the half of it. Don't search ES 335 Historic Reissues. 58's and 59's at lower theanstandard model prices. I don't know how long I can hold out. :censored:

I just noticed... The pole screws: Where they already adjusted like that from the factory?

I don't know if Gibson Memphis did that or if CME did that. It wasn't me, though.

I have been wanting to experiment with p/u heights and pole screws, but I am afraid to touch anything at the moment because I am enjoying it the way it is.

I did wake up declaring I have to change the strings to 9's though. My bends are off. And my usual cat strangling tones sound worse than usual. My game is off. :p

Goldtop NGD pictures should be banned, some of us don't have a goldtop, and its not fair.

Lovely guitar, and that bloody music shop is superb. You Americans are very lucky to have all those choices. By the time I buy in Korea or buy from them add shipping and import taxes the price double.

I used to shy away from CME (they have a great youtube channel, though!). Very high end. But when they serve up a deal, they don't mess around. My last 2 guitars came from them. Fantastic experiences and amazing deals (no exaggeration) both times.

Thanks! :yesway:

I haven't stopped playing it since I got it. I did clean it up, I changed strings, I set the pole screws flat and tweaked the pickup height. The medium rounded neck is near perfect. There is no shoulder at all. I can even wrap my thumb over the top for Hendrix style chords, something I cannot usually do on Gibson necks. The lightweight just makes it an absolute joy to play. 8 or 9 lb Les Pauls never bothered me, but being so light ~6 lbs., there is no stress, no weight, no balance problems; effortless.

It sure filled that empty spot where I wanted an LP.
