• 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!

    With Epiphone's upcoming 2020 release of USA made '62 spec Casino I can finally move towards one of the guitars that has been on my dream list for a while - a replica of Paul McCartney's 1962 Epiphone Casino.

    SG modern to 70s conversion

    Is it possible for a talented luthier to mod a modern SG standard to one with 1973 specs? I ask because I play left-handed and early 1970s SGs in good condition are exceedingly rare.

    Tuner for setup

    As my guitar collection grows I'm interested in doing basic setups on my own vs bringing guitars in to a tech. What's a good tuner for testing intonation? This would be for setting up electric guitars.

    Keeping your beginner guitars?

    I wonder what people here think about holding on to their cheap starter guitars. I'm debating if I should keep my Epiphone G400 (Epiphone's version of the SG). It was my first electric guitar. But I haven't touched the thing in years, or even looked at it. By my current standards I wouldn't...

    Nitro finished Epi Casinos

    What modern sunburst Epiphone Casinos have had a nitro finish? So far I know of the John Lennon Limited model and the Elitist "1965" Casino Vintage Outfit model. Are there any others?

    Stratocaster ID (Paul McCartney's)

    Sir Paul is usually more of a Gibson guy, but he does have a brown sunburst Stratocaster. These are the only photos I've ever seen of it. Are there enough details available to get an idea as to the year? It's pretty beat-up so my guess is it's a vintage instrument.
