I am pretty damn pumped - just bought this 2012 Gibson Elvis Costello L-Century “Century of Progress” (#148 of 300). It’s a reproduction of the 1936 guitar Elvis had and lost in a flooding accident…OO body size.
Certificate & label autographed by Elvis.
These are the seller’s photos. It’s period Art-Deco appearance is something you’ll either love or hate. Some have termed it “delightfully tacky.”
Now I have to sell 3 others.
Is got a cool retro Robert Johnson vibe.
Nice
Lovely, is it for playing or keeping as is?
If I own a guitar, I am playing it (even if not so well) - I don’t believe in “case queens.”
Quite right 
Similar, I thought I was done. Well I am done on the acoustic side, then it occurred to me I only have one electric guitar - how very dare I. So decided to go for something with a completely different sound to the Strat, and obtained…
My playing is rather naff, but had no trouble transferring over my naff skills to the Les Paul.
Is that a 59 
Martin
Very nice addition Stuart. Mahogany body Acoustic’s tend to win out for me, especially if I’m singing/mumbling along. Hog just seems to fit my voice better. My D18 is long gone, but a Gibson J45 is king of my hill now.
Haven’t the foggyist, it was second hand 2014 limited edition, and to be honest I try hard not to get bogged down into detail like I might with hifi, as it could be very dangerous
Strange as I am selling my Les Paul to help pay for the new Martin. Couldn’t get on with it although I still enjoy my Tele.
No expert but the older ones fetch unbelievable money, cheers

ooh, good to know. BTW, here is some detail on it.
blending several vintage features from the legendary Les Pauls of the 1950s including a traditional 1959 neck profile and Gibson Burstbucker™ pickups with a few modern appointments…
Traditional ’59 Les Paul Construction!
There’s little argument that the 1959 Les Paul is the “holy grail” of electric guitars and like the ’59, the new Bonamassa Goldtop shares many of the same coveted features. It starts with a solid Mahogany body married to a hard Maple cap for that unique combination of warmth and bite. Add to that, a traditional Mahogany neck that is hand-fitted and glued “deep” into the body using premium TiteBond® glue. Extending well into the neck pickup cavity, the long-neck tenon provides additional strength and stability to the neck and offers more wood-to-wood contact between the neck and body. This ultimately results in sweeter tone and longer sustain. Also true to its heritage, the neck features an authentic, 1950’s rounded neck profile. Often referred to as “the baseball bat”, this neck feels beefy yet comfortable in your hands while adding warmth and sustain with it’s greater mass.
Strange because I sold my Martin last year to buy an Adamas as I couldn’t get on with the Martin next width and body depth. Lucky we all have different fitting requirements
@Martinzero no, there were no Gold tops in 59 its a Gold top, the Gold ones stopped in 58, early 58 GT’s had black hardware, alas this is an Epiphone version. I believe it to be an Epiphone Joe Bonamassa signature from the picture 
Love a Tele! I have an Ultra, it’s really good.
