Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
I had a Darkburst/Crossroad set in my Oxblood Les Paul. Liked them very much, very great pickups. Then changed them out for RS Fralin Psychebilly‘s that were the s@%t. I always womder why those don‘t get more respect….
Anybody has a wiring scheme and how is the switching going to be? I have a Bicentennial that was modded to be like Phil Manzanaeras red bird, and at the moment I have the middle pickup disconnected but thoaught about wiring it up. Only I cannot find a schematic online...thanks
I tried to search but couldn't find what I'm looking for...the 335 comes in a lot of different models, and I saw one which I kind of consider...sorry don't have pics, but it's a 2011, sunburst, dot inlays, nickel hardware, Grover tuners, orange sticker in the f-hole, Custom certificate, the back...
Just got one, and it's great but the pots don't work gradually. They do little until reaching 2 and than the rest. Is that normal for those? Or somethings wrong?
'64 Firebird III wiring mod
Hi there, I have an original FB II from '64 and while it sounds great, I thought about changing the wiring, as I work mostly from the volume and tone pots and found it loses much treble when I turn down. The wiring is still the original one, looks quite a bit...
Thinking aout getting oneof those, now I see a few ofthe fs in the 1300€ range, that's about 1400$ right now. Specifically a sunburst '94 and a natural '02. Would prefer a cherry red butthere are none around here..I did a search and read about some quality issues with those guitars. Andybody can...
Looking for a replacement for the lightning bolt wraparound on my 64 firebird. Looking for the Allparts one, with the saddles for a plain G string. Anybody know of a good dealer who stocks them and ships internationally? Or is there another option? Right now I have a Tonepros on it, and while it...
Saw one of the 80's Chet Atkins classical solidbody guitars in a shop for a fair price. Played one long ago at some concerts with a songwriter, but curious how it would sound through a cranked Marshall Super Lead or Super Bass....anyone?
I have a '64 Firebird, sounds absolutely stunning, but through my Marshalls (wide open) esp. the bridge pup tends to squeal if I roll the volume on the guitar on "10". Also on my Super Reverb and old Gibson combo, which I play with a Fulldrive, when I switch the FD on it starts to squeal quite...
I'm on the hunt for a Les Paul jr. Saw lots of them around from 54 to 59, with extremely varying prices (from 4.000 to 20.000 +).
I'm looking for one I can play around in pubs and bars, so if it's a little rough I don't care. But how come those different prices? What are the good years for...
Hi, just got some interest in my 1976 Explorer Limited Edition and since I'm trying to finance something else, I might part with it. I saw a few on Gbase for about 5.000-5.200 $. Is that the real value?
Just got the '64 Firebird III, and it's really battered, but great. Might also need new frets.
The wiring has been changed, to have both volume pots on the upper row and tone on the lower row, plus the caps are on one lug of the tone pot and to ground on the pot itself. At least 2 pots are...
Hi, need some info regarding pricing on Firebirds:
Firebird III, 1964, reverse, original parts and finish.
Probably refret, converted to stop-tail and reversed back to vibrola, maybe a headstock crack (everythings solid), 70's case
Overall condition is a little rough but a nice players guitar...
