just in case... There's no pickguard in the case, and no holes to mount one so I don't want to hear anything about it. I know how some of you are.

Absolutely gorgeous! Happy NGD!It's finally here! 2019 Tobacco burst Traditional. This guitar is amazing, no question the best guitar I've ever played. The neck is perfect thickness and feels great even with slightly lower frets than I usually like, I don't even notice. The pickups are a big surprise for me too. I hated Burstbucker 1 & 2 when I had them before and figured I'd be swapping them out pretty quick, but they sound great and I think I'll keep them in. I did remove the covers though, I don't like pickup covers. Don't hate me, I'm not touching anything else.
It's beautiful, pics are good, but it looks better in person. I've looked it over and over for a flaw and I can't find one, it's mint! Looks like it's barely been played. I took the old strings off, wiped the whole thing down, cleaned the fretboard (even though it didn't need it it makes me feel better) and gave it coat of lemon oil. I believe it's the first time it's been oiled so it darkened up some.
Here are some pics, first a couple of the sellers pics because they're better than mine...
My pics without the covers...
Unmolested wiring and I don't plan to mess with it...
I'm super impressed and happy with it, no regrets buying it!

Great looking guitar. I don't like covers on pickups either.
Beautiful!! Congrats and HNGD!
My most recent purchase is also a Tobacco Burst Gibson Les Paul. Such a traditionally beautiful guitar.

I love mine too! Tobacco with a dark back. 2018 IIRC. Beautiful playing, looking, and sounding. I hardly play my '76 Custom any more.

It would be cool if the back was darker on mine, but not that big a deal. At least it isn't red.

Never installed mine! Doesn't seem to need it. Yours has a nicer top than mine too.just in case... There's no pickguard in the case, and no holes to mount one so I don't want to hear anything about it. I know how some of you are.

Congrats on the Trad!
The only molestation I did to mine was replace the tuners with Kluson Revolution locking tuners. Not for tuning but for quick string changes because I knew I would be playing it a lot!
I like the BB1 & 2 in mine as well.
Oh, and nice that it does not have a pickguard or holes. I wish they all came that way.

It's ok if it comes like that from the factory.just in case... There's no pickguard in the case, and no holes to mount one so I don't want to hear anything about it. I know how some of you are.
