Just a brief update: I've had the guitar for 12 days at this point, and I play her at every opportunity. The "soloist neck" feels excellent in my hand and the "fast access heel" provides EASY access to the highest frets. BTW, I think I've noticed that early-build (fall 2016) 2017 LP Standard HPs do ...

VERY NICE! Congratulations! I hope you play the daylights out of her!

Thanks, Surf. That heel sure is comfortable. It's so good, in fact, that I'd consider ridding myself of the regular LP's I have if they weren't somewhat collectible. The finish and top are magical!

I placed the order for her 4 weeks ago and she arrived at my dealer today and picked her up after work this evening.

Excellent,

JCM 900 50w combo (4502) with the matching "1922" speaker cab, purchased new in 1996 and I still have it.

AWESOME!

Next time, a bit louder, please and something that really cooks.

Thank you, Surf!

They haven't revealed their new 2017 electrics on their site (save for one) but you can "harvest" beaucoups info for just about every 2017 LP on Sweetwater's and other retailer's websites.

I'm following the advice my Dad gave me 50+ years ago. "Son, you can be most helpful by staying out of the way." That's what I'm giving my GF this year (it works for me).

CYNICS! Every one of you (however, I wholly concur)!

My GT-75's in my JCM 900 50w Combo sound "harsh". Definitely not "warm".

I ran into this video on YouTube a month or two ago and thought it was an EXCELLENT informative piece.

I've got Marshall branded KT66's in my JTM 45/100. Those f*cking tubes R O C K!
