I have a bunch of misc 50s LPs i'm thinking of selling. i'm not quite there, but it's getting really close to time to get off this stuff... you guys should probably convince me to keep... or sell... i'm on the fence but it's clear, at this point in my life, i won't be a rock star. so i'm...

They stopped by to say hello and play some pinball. Very nice gentlemen. Thank you good sirs! http://youtu.be/ZpcbZV2eCnk

I bought a 1961 Epiphone Coronet and like a Les Paul Junior or 1953-1955 Les Paul, it uses a wrap-around style tailpiece. Unfortunately it has a "bad ass". Errr. So i need a smooth nickel wrap tail with two nickel studs. Is there any place that sells decent reissues of these? (I don't need an...

http://toledo.craigslist.org/msg/3195291091.html WOW. can't figure out if it's a photoshop thing, or real.

I know it's probably not appropriate for this forum. (But this is the only one i can post to.) i do find the 68/69 gold tops (copies of a 1956) somewhat interesting. This particular model has all the good stuff (p90 pickups and one piece neck and body), but has the larger peghead. guitar is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl9iS2egnC0&NR=1&feature=fvwp don't know if this was posted before, saw it on another forum. looks very interesting!

Possible one of the first SJ's. Notice the peghead logo, and bound fingerboard and skunk stripe.

any comments? (besides the refret & switch tip, pickguard is present but removed for this pic.) serial number 8 2135. i mean i'm having a hard time finding any issues. talk about an early serial number!

If you are in the detroit area, and would like a one hour "gig", please contact me. To make this "on subject", you can play one of my vintage Les Pauls for the gig too, if you want. 2pm Saturday July 12, northville michigan. gig is for 90 minutes. pay: not much if anything, but free barb-b-q...

This is not my guitar. but i think the story is important, and should be documented. This 1959 sunburst was bought in Detroit in 1972. It was already refinished and re-necked (with a SG standard style neck, but with LP custom peghead ordaments). The guy gigged with it all through the 70s and 80s...

I got an call from someone selling a "1959 les paul". They want a mear $400+ for it. I tried to explain to them i thought it was a "max". but they has some story how they got it from the original owner, and it was just appraised (don't know by who), blah blah blah. Serial number way too high at...

I'm really down right now. a guy from southern CA contacted me with a nice burst. Actually i had been talking to this guy on-and-off for 6 months. but he got motivated and took it to guitar center and they offer a low 6-figure amount for the guitar. i told him, 'hey i can beat that offer'. but...

I got this email today. Man i can't believe Christies is telling people they are going to get $100 large for a trapeze 53 goldtop. Talk about pumping up the seller. Also sounds like he does a "trapeze act" to mute the strings! -------- I have a 53 Gold Top and I disagree with the assertion that...

Bought it brand new in 1954. Played in church. i would have gotten the amp too free ("you could have it, but it was too heavy to get in the car.")

Well, not quite, but kind of.
