I just picked up my first Les Paul, it is a 2006 Custom Shop version with ebony fretboard and 490R & 498T humbuckers. Nice isn't it?

Gorgeous! Congrats and welcome to the club. Be careful though, Les Pauls can be very addictive...I'm on number 4. :thumb:

So far my favorite sound comes with neck pup and JCM 800 2204, it has nice fat crunchy tone. This is a bit heavier than I'm used to, weight is 4,64 kg (10,2 lb) and my main SG is 3,2 kg.. I also noticed that if I need to go to upper frets, my SG 24 does that job a bit easier.

Dude, that LP Custom is just as sweet as mine is!

If I hadn't gone with the Silverburst, I'd have gone the way you did with the Ebony. In fact, if I ever want another LPC, I'll get an Epiphone version in that color/style. Ebony paint with Ebony neck and gold hardware. Very sexy. :slash:

I had that same pick up combination originally in my 2007 SG Std, but I switched the bridge pick up (498T) to Angus Young signature Humbucker. That 498T was not bad, I was just curious.
