I don't mind the finish. It's kinda neato. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I like your green Les Paul too. [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The inlays appear to be original. They just look a bit funky in the pics. It's the quality of the refin that is so heinous (I can feel the seams between the coats, and there are lots of rough spots). The Custom Shop documentation (still in the case) says the original finish is "Arctic white with lettering". I'm hoping it's still intact underneath this refin. Btw, the neck is raw and unpainted, with a light satin finish (also original). [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's my CAH LP Elegant. It's got big chambers in it, so it only weighs 6-7 lbs. Slim-taper neck with a compound radius (10"-16") ebony board. It's like the shredder's Les Paul. [img]graemlins/band.gif[/img]

How on earth did you score that? Pawnshop? Rummage sale? Estate sale? Sitting in somebody's yard up on blocks? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I need to know where to start looking to find something like that!

I believe I'm gonna restore it to the original "arctic white" (I AM NOT responsible for the current finish). What do you think?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Beats me. It has all the original documentation, etc, so all I can figure is that whoever pawned it figured it was worthless with the refin and really needed some quick cash. The shop probably gave them $150 or less.

On a related note, I picked this up at another pawn shop in the same town for $500. http://www.jcfonline.com/ubb/noncgi/...;f=16;t=001024

Re: So here is the $250 Custom Shop Soloist...

I'd recommend you send it to Rohland to do that very thin finish, which he used to grant Eddie's guitars with. It will become really resonant.

DON'T CHANGE A FUCKING THING!!!!!!!!!!!

LEAVE THAT FINISH AND DON'T WORRY IF IT FALLS OFF THE STAND AND CHIPS!!!!!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The quality of the finish is realllly crappy, man. A guitar of this caliber deserves to have a decent finish, at least.
