The guitar is #3 of which he has done 21 since the beginning of 08. You can read some articles about these; however, I can't believe my eyes when I see the NASH aged job on a Les Paul. Mine is an un-burst with good flame, but not over the top. The pickups are DiMarzio and the guitar is beyond what a player would expect. If you roll the neck pickup tone up to 10, the neck pick up changed to single coil which is great for stinger deep blues. The guitar is also finished in 100% Nitro and all parts are aged as well. These are real collector pieces as they have NASH hands all over them. His attention to detail comes out on each Paul. I have seen about 6 before I made my quest and found # 3. Bam to features and feel.
Sound

The Les was better for me due to the wiring which is more Jimmy Page as I understand. The guitar is about 9 lbs. and quiet. He redresses the frets and restains the top think to add resonance. The neck is great and 50's profile. It is more versitile than the average humbucker standard type. Spank and growl can be found on popular video sites if you look up Nash Les Paul. The public videos can speak for the sound. I am impressed and please. It is about the 6th Les Paul I have owned and will be the only one I will need from this point on.

Faded un-burst relic 100% Nitro. My guitar would be a 7 out of 10 so it has a good relic look on a Gibson which mostly found on Fenders. Tom Murphy aged ones from Gibson still look 8.5 to 10 and shine. I liked the idea of having a beater late 50's Standard look. More Page and Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates than closet classic. Bam!

I haven't played it enough to find fault. I am not expecting trouble and it will likely out live me.

I actually emailed NASH Guitars to find out where the first 5 went and he said Killer Vintage in St. Louis ordered the first 5.
