2015 Gibson Les Paul LPM. Added a pickguard and a 2015 Gibson Les Paul LPM.  Added a pickguard and a bone nut.  While I’m always happy to make suggestions, it’s also nice to have customers who know exactly how they like their instruments.  And the friendly folks @stratosphereparts to provide the necessary gear!

Guitar Stories

Every instrument has a story behind it, and the value that an instrument has for its owner is often unrelated to the purchase price.  While I never share customers’ personal information, here are some instruments and stories I have encountered.

It’s the personal connection people have to their instruments that reinforces our commitment: enhancing the tools of your self-expression.
