I have the Gibson Les Paul Joe Perry Boneyard, number Bone002 and it's my be all, end all guitar. 10 OUT OF 10, friends, utter Perfection. It sounds better than any les paul I've ever played BY FAR! So warm, thick and massive and it plays like butter. Think Slash's November Rain solos or Sweet Child intro. The neck is huge! Baseball bat indeed. Took me a bit to adjust to the neck size but now I don't even think about it, and I think that in it's neck size lies the secrets to it's unbelievable mojo sound. It's NOT a shredder guitar by any stretch! This is a MAN'S TOOL, a machine built for maximum tone with a Custom Shop fit and finish second to none. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THEY'RE NOT WORTH THE MONEY!! And the color is something you have to see in person to understand. Through my Marshall and Fender Tub amps, it's a guitar of a Greek God and could easily become a tool of the Devil. Oh and the reverse polarity "Peter Green Mod" took me some time to dial in but once I did it's a trip. Hint, center position with both volumes on 5, bridge tone at 0 and neck tone at 10, gives you a crazy horn-ish slight auto wah sound. Our affair is very serious people! It's a till death do us part kind-of-thing for me.
