Is wrong that I'm trying to decide which les Paul I want to order tomorrow.  That and I keep trying to talk myself out of it.
No, it's perfectly normal. Heck, I'm pretty sure you've even contemplated getting both.  

Both you mean 7
 

Ended up ordering a 2015 Gibson Les Paul Studio in desert burst.  Had hard time deciding between it and a 60s tribute Goldtop.

Oh, a 2015. I wish Gibson wouldn't have put those damn tuner thingies on all of the Les Paul models.

I'm hopping it'll make things easier on me.  Only bring one guitar with me to work, and I go back and forth tuning 11/2 step down and open tuning for playing slide.  Probably only tune down a 1/2 with this one as I don't plan on going bigger than 10s on this vs my usual 13s

I mainly wish they made that tuner thingy optional... I strongly prefer standard (or standard locking) tuners at this point.

The wider board I'm ok with... it felt ok. Odd, but I could get used to it pretty quickly I believe.
I don't like how they handled the bound boards though.  Removing the nibs on the fret ends removes one of their signature pieces.

The zero-fret I'm not sold on... but ok... whatever.  If it works in the long-run... great.

The price increase strikes me as a bit much. But if the market will bear it... so be it.

But... build quality of the 2015's I've handled has been great, every one I've picked up has been very well built.

Oh, that's pretty.

I'm campaigning very heavily to buy my buddy's guitar next year, but it will take some careful negotiating with the household CFO (and probably be contingent on liquidating one or more current guitars):

I'm thinking of picking up a VHT or Fryette Pittbull head if I can find one for sale. I might also pick up a G&L asat too at some point.  I'm just getting back in to playing after a long hiatus. I've dusted off all of my guitars and gear and am getting back into the game.

I'm getting this one in zebra, 7.3 ohm/8 ohm and wax potted. They have a linked "shootout" review and I thought they sounded great compared to the other options.

Finally got home today and got to play with my new les Paul.  The new fangled tuner deal is awesome.  It'll tune different turnings faster than I ever could have thought.

My boys finally got to plug in their new Mini-Strats for the first time.  Pretty cool seeing these little guys make noise.  The wife isn't really happy with me right now though after she told them to turn it down and I taught them the response "if it's too loud, you're too old".

I got my Mojotone PAF clones in today. This guitar sounds absolutely stellar with the knobs turned to 11. Plus, it doesn't sound muddy like I am accustomed to Les Pauls sounding.

Well... 2015 is starting off nicely.

Just got my "welcome to the top of the waiting list" email from Analog.man.
My new King Of Tone pedal shipped yesterday.

As soon as this one lands I might join the waiting list again. . Next one will have some mods he offers.

I picked up a Mesa Roadster Head and matching 4-12 rectifier cabinet.  Mint condition never been gigged.  Paid $1,500.00 for it.  Also bought a used Schecter Hellraiser, Jim Root Squier Tele, a Voodoo lab ground control pro, Voodoo lab GCX switcher, TC Electronic G major 2 and a Chinese "Chibson" 1961 SG Custom reissue for $100!!!  Plays and sounds fantastic!!

Been a good few months!!  Also put a EMG 81 in my 1985 Kramer Pacer Special.  Fun stuff!!

True, but it's a lot in such a short amount of time. In other words, it's a nice score.

I traded my THD Univalve for this GFlex 2x12 with EVM 12Ls.  Sounds great with my 6505+ combo (which is out of frame to the left of the pedal board).  But now I have more speaker cabs than amps...

No new toys for me, just working on flat picking my Martin Custom D to make it sound better over time. I want to play drums again because I can groove, just no room or time for me. I need no neighbors or a basement.
