Well not to sure how to say this, but just looking around the Guitar shop, and I saw a Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Pro Top, electric guitar, in translucent blue over flame maple, and it was such a good looking guitar, I'd go as far as to say real pritty.
To cut a longish story, a little bit short, I traded in the Faith Naked Neptune, for the Epiphone Les Paul.
Think this should be the last Guitar this year. 😀

@sleigh,

Thanks, I may actually be good at something (trading guitars).
Strange but all I really wanted was one guitar, that I could cherish and play, untill I wore the thing to pieces, but I could not find that guitar, maybe it didn't exist, but it was great fun trying, or maybe it's still out there, and I have just not found it yet. 😀

Greg Ballantyne,
My first choice is the good old Acoustic Guitar, but the electric guitar has two good points for me, one I can put my headphones on and play the electric guitar, with the wife in the same room, and we live in harmony, the second point is, I like the near infinite range in different tones, you can usually find a nice tone to suit your mood. 😀

El Gull,

Yes the LP is a very nice guitar, with fat tone.
No effects pedal, sold my Blackstar fly amp, will have to buy another, at the moment using a Vox 30, mini plug in amp as in the video, very impressed with the sound through headphones.

I've seen these. Very cool actually.
Vox are my favourite amp tones. I use those amps almost exclusively on my HD500x pedal. AC15 and AC30 are both great. Sounds especially good with an LP as its a bright amp with a thick sounding pickup that brings a nice balance to the equation.

I purchased an LP when my Granddaughter was born. I wish someone in the family had bought me one when I was born.
Took off the original truss rod cover and had one engraved with her name on it. She's 10 now and has no interest in playing, however, she knows it belongs to her and that she can have it whenever she decides to play. Or sell it when shew grows up.

McCuen,

Well that's what Grandfather's are for.
That was a great thing to do, and one day in the future I'm sure your Granddaughter will be more than pleased, and she will make it a family heirloom.
Let's just hope she learns to play the little beauty, and that would make you happy too. 😀

I like electric guitars as well as acoustic ones. As you say, Derick, there's a nearly infinite range of tones possible (especially with the aid of effects pedals), and in my mind, that's a good thing -- even though I mostly play acoustics.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
