Now that looks awesome. I think yours is even better than the red finish. And I'm with you on not playing the finish, I actually prefer used guitars with some dings or otherwise imperfect finishes. Means you can get on with the business of playing the thing and not care about adding 'character' to it. One of my other guitars is a Les Paul Standard DC Plus. Very nice guitar. Very Pretty. Has spent most of its life in a wardrobe.
