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!
Well to start off I picked up a 1999 R7 Gold Top last year and tried a few different sets of pickups in it. Had a set of Rolph 59's and Lollars which were both great in their own way.
The Rolph's sounded a little compressed and a tad muddy on the neck, where the Lollars were a little on the tame...
For those of you that didn't know this, they're real screws in there about a 1/2" long.
I know this because I just repaired a crack in a headstock of one and I think thats why it didn't break off all together like most headstock breaks.
This crack started at the High E string tuner and stopped...
Anyone know where I can find some plastic replacment latches for this Gibson case ? I didn't find much when I did a search. I thought there was a thread about these a while back ?
Thanks :salude

Well once again it's the wood along with good electronic's that makes it good :dude:
I started with a used 05 R8 that someone already installed a RS Kit with the RS caps wired 50's style.
It had a few cold solder joints and a few bad ground joints.
Anyway I tried these pickups in order, WCR...
I just picked this up last night, Came from the Gibson Summer Jam and it came from Gibson with D'Addario strings ? :hmm
A guitar company that makes guitars and strings :note
Doesn't say much about Gibson strings or does it ? I've always liked them anyway. :dude:
Well Gibson calls this Ice Tea...
Guitar Of The Month, who's getting one of these ? Kinda cool I guess with the P-94's. :hmm

I'm posting this for R8 FlameTop. It's his new 06 Standard Plus with Burstbucker Pro's, and I hear it's a tone machine. I'm sure he will chime in very soon. :dude:
