• 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!

    Not quite LP's.... but great nonetheless!

    First year Yamaha SG 1500. Mini toggle switches added for OOP/Coil split/Parallel/Series Mid 1970's Yamaha Lord Player 500 w/ Bryan Gunsher Pure 90's These are a couple of my keepers that aren't going anywhere. Yamaha did some fine work back in the day.

    You don't always get what you pay for!

    I posted some of this in the 2014 Gibson line up bashing thread. While I'm not someone who likes change for change sake I like what I just stumbled upon so here goes..... I have to say that the 2014 LP Melody Maker in TV yellow I just bought used but in mint condition is the best bang for the...

    The longest vacation from your LP?

    How many historic owners take extended breaks from your LP's? I have my '01 CA R8 and my '05 CS 1960 Special. For quite some time now, three or four years I have been drifting back to mainly my Tele's and sometimes the Strat side of things. I've been wondering why and maybe it's my hearing...

    Check out Greeny's PU setup on Oh Well

    My buddy just emailed me this link to show the extreme PU height on both the treble and bass sides that Greeny was using near the end of the FMac days. Interesting..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8RhZDGLEXM

    How long before it's clear?

    That you have permanently fallen out of love and time to move on? I have a nice 2001 CA R8 that I have had for almost 10 years, but I haven't barely picked it up in two years. I have decided that Tele's really suit me these days. I also have a Historic SC Special that I like the tone of much...

    Strange tone pots!!!

    I placed this in Dan's Guitar Shop but haven't got any replies, so I'll see if any of you guys here have any idea what's going on. I have a Yamaha SA 2000 (335 knockoff), great guitar all around. There is one strange thing though, on both tone pots, the volume increases big time rolling off from...

    Tone pots acting very strange

    I have a Yamaha SA 2000 (345 knockoff), great guitar all around. There is one strange thing though, on both tone pots, the volume increases big time rolling off from 10 to 8.5. Then the volume goes back to normal and they start acting as a tone pot should. The volume pots work correctly. Never...

    SC Special vs. R8

    I have owned my '01 CA R8 for six years now and she is a screamer. Upgraded with RS kit and Wolfetone Dr. V PUP's. Fantastic player at all levels. That being said, there is something about my '05 Historic Singlecut Special that constantly takes me back and away from all my other guitars. This...

    Sweet deal on a '60 SC Special

    Check this TV special at Chris's guitars. He's a good guy to deal with. I don't buy the Braz board thing though. http://www.chrisguitars.com/

    Check out Dave's '59

    I was just on Dave's Guitars and saw that he is starting to show some of his personal collection. He has a stunning '59, one of the most beautiful tops I have seen in some time. The rest of the collection isn't too bad either! http://www.davesguitar.com/collection.html

    She's hidden my Wolfetone Dr. V's!

    Damn the wife! I was so excited to be getting my order for a set of Dr. V pickups, couldn't wait to blob the solder. Well.... she gets to the mail first and has hid them till Christmas day. WTF! This is just not on. I told her no sex until I get the pickups, and now she is thinking of holding...
