• 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!

    2 DIFFERENT "STANDARD" TRUSS ROD COVERS

    I guess to celebrate the Centenial. They created a limited run of LP Standards, Vs, DCs and Explorers in deep metallic green paint. Here is the LP I used to own in stock configuration: With a few mods:

    Farewell my #1

    I recently parted ways with my "#1" Les Paul, and I thought this was worth a post. I found this LP hanging in the "fancy room" of my local Guitar Center in 2001, and bought it soon after. The guitar was made in the Gibson Custom Shop in 1994 as part of a limited edition series for Gibson's...

    Another flame under the gold thread (R4 content)

    Help me resist an HM refin ('Pearly Gate'-like burst) with rout for Humbuckers. The idea is clearly ridiculous and a waste of money. Right?

    Just a couple recent R8 pics

    Still looking pretty fresh. Going on 9 years of life with me. Can't see that I'd do much better.

    Speaker cabinet love.

    Two cabs in parallel sound so good...but so heavy. We tend to play smaller venues so I like to run my Univalve head (USA 7025 in V1, EH 12AU7 in V2, and single Westinghouse 6L6GC) most times with my LPs into either the Roll channel (everything dimed) or Rock channel (gain on about 10 o'clock)...

    What's your favorite electric to play sitting down?

    I have found my Non-Reverse Firebird to be the absolute best electric guitar for playing on the couch.:3zone Balances perfectly on my right leg (I'm right handed). Very light, and the fingerboard is in just the right place. Even though the nut is a real stretch on this guitar when I'm...

    New 'Bird

    New guitar day for me--2003 Non-Reverse Firebird. I've sold both my Telecaster and Stratocaster, and was looking for something to replace. Also looking for a little different sound than my LPs but still have a lot of the same neck feel, playability, and power. I know half of you guys don't dig...

    CS-336 with bigger neck?

    Do they ever make them? Anyone have one? Figured?

    A little sump'n for everyone

    This is what keeps me from buying a new one--these still are killer.:jaw

    Anniversary LP Thread

    I'd love to see a thread that pulls together LPs from '52, 72, '82, '92, and good old 2002. If you have still got 'em, you must love 'em. Let us know why?:hmm Here's my 2002 R8 to start things off. I was initially attracted to it by its top and color. But once the honeymoon was over, I kept...

    Historic new guitar purchase, resale strategies

    I want to go out and buy a new killer top R9, but I feel like I'm just too frugal... Here's the backstory: I have been very fortunate to own some very nice Historic and Custom Shop Gibson guitars. My strategy has been to buy used guitars, so that mine don't really depreciate too much more...
