Wishing you a speedy recovery. My right hand was in a cast for 6 months after a car accident on Easter Sunday and I'm just now getting back to playing regularly after lots of therapy.

@Toby Brady It really sucked. Everything sucks when you can't use your dominant hand. I had to learn to do my job with only my left hand. I couldn't even cut my own food. I would get so frustrated. For most of the time I was recovering, the doctors really didn't know if and when I would get back use of my right hand/thumb. And the 2 things that I wanted to do the most for comfort, play guitar and play video games, were impossible. I'm so glad to be able to start playing again. I really hope your recovery goes well.
Getting closer to the Greeny look
After taking off the pick guard from my Honeyburst Les Paul, I thought it looked a lot closer to Greeny. So, I decided to put a pair of Top Hat Bell Reflector Knobs (only $2.23 each during StewMac’s recent StewMax sale) to take the look even further. Here are After and Before pics. I’m still not as sure of this as I was taking off the pick guard, but it’s growing on me. Let me know what you think.

@George Zapata Thanks. So far, I'm so happy with the guitar purchase and the upgrades/mods I have done to it.

@Jay Kirgis Heck ya!
Upgraded to Locking Tuners
Just upgraded tuners on new Gibson Les Paul Studio Session to Grover Locking Tuners. They are the bomb. Restringing is so easy. No worrying about wraps on the post, because there are NONE. You don't even end up with 1 wrap. I was able to get the locking version of the exact same model tuners that it came with; both style and color. Easy upgrade for less than $100.

@John Cooper Looks like it had all sorts of upgrades. Are those Fishman pickups? How do they sound?

@John Cooper Sweet! What amp are you playing it through?
NGD - Gibson Les Paul Studio Session in Honey Burst
Yesterday I traded my Gibson LP Studio (Triburst), and my Epiphone Appetite Burst, for a Gibson LPrs Paul Studio Session. Upgrades that convinced me this was the right guitar were: ‘57 Classic/Classic+ pickups, being able to run the pickups out of phase (think Greeny), Ebony Fretboard, Pure Bypass switch, and the Modern Contoured Heel. The pickups sound amazing and it plays so good. The heel cutout takes getting used to, but I already feel more comfortable playing the higher frets. Extra features of the push/pull pots for coil tapping, phase shifting, and bypass provides so many tone combinations. It’s like a Swiss Army Guitar 😎 And lastly, I really like how the color on this one turned out. I feel like it is a mix between Slash’s Jessica and Kirk Hammet’s Greeny. I can’t wait to treat the fretboard, put fresh strings on it, polish it up, and play the heck out of it.

@Robert Patram Thanks. I'm loving it. Going to upgrade the regular Grover Tuners to Grover Locking Tuners tonight when I restring it and set it up.

Cleaner
What do you all use to clean your guitars? I’ve picked up a few guitars over the years that look like they have dried sweat on them.

I recently picked up the GuitarTek Complete Clean & Polish Trio from StewMac and I’m very happy with it. The applicator on the Board Oil bottle made it a breeze to condition the neck on my new Gibson LP. The Clean Axe spray did a great job by itself and was streak free. Lastly, the Gloss Max polish made the guitar’s Nitro finish look so much brighter. That kit will probably last me a very long time. I look forward to using all 3 on my Ebony Epiphone LP Custom when I restring it.
