Gibson Custom Historic 1957 Les Paul Goldtop: You Can't Always Want What You Get
December 04, 2008
After years of pining, Charlie Pickett finally plunked down the dough for a Gibson Custom Historic 1957 Les Paul Goldtop, only to be ultimately unsatisfied with the thing. You'd only be surprised by this information if you hadn't seen the last several videos featuring Mr. Pickett, wherein he extols the qualities of such budget-axes as the Jay Turser electric resonator and the Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster.
At any rate, the tragic, anticlimactic love story between a man and his dream-guitar must have at least provided some good fodder for a few slow-burnin' blues tunes. $2700 for inspiration is still cheaper than your eternal soul, right Robert Johnson?

Man I have to say! I am on the same page as Mr.Pickett! Crappy guitars got more soul and feel and for some reason at least 6 times out of ten sound and feel better than the high end stuff, I have a gibson knockoff that I swear is better than any real les paul I have played, it cost me three hundred bucks and the thing is boss! I have tried some good ones let me tell you! Its nice to know that there are people that think like me too!
I have to agree with
I have to agree with Anonymous and Charlie right here. My Japanese Strat sounds and feels better than any of the high-end American Fenders I have payed, and I paid barely anything when I bought it.
