• 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!

    Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon

    I love traveling and taking pictures and I've come across an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I'd like to know your opinions about Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon. I have a business trip on November 12-14 in Phoenix and I'll be staying an extra two days until Sunday night. I'll leave...

    Help With Humbucker for LP Junior

    My uncle just got a LP Junior and would like to change the pup to a humbucker, but does not want to change the look of the pup. Is there a humbucker that has the same appearance as the one in a Junior? I don't even know what it is. I told him since there is only one on the guitar maybe he can...

    Average weight for Bursts

    I friend of mine said he played an R9 and it "only" weighed 8.5 pounds and he wanted something closer to the original. I actually thought this was close to average. I guess I was thinking they were somewhere between 8-9 pounds with a few exceptions on both sides. More on the heavier which...

    Phone call with Gibson

    What do y'all think about these two responses- 1- I asked them about getting a COA for my 2001 R9 that the dealer said they couldn't find. The guy at Gibson said they didn't have them in 2001. If not, why was the dealer looking for it for a week after I bought the guitar? 2- I asked about...

    Is there an official Burst count?

    I am wondering how many original Bursts are actually known to exist and how many are known to have been destroyed (fire, flood, damaged beyond repair, smashed, etc.)? We know how many were made. Or do we? I thought the number was exact, but maybe its an estimated number. We have an idea...

    Headstock- Big or Little?

    Which do you prefer? I have an '80 Goldtop with the big headstock and I love it. I am not sure why. Maybe because it is different? But I don't know if I would want it on all of my guitars. I prefer the big ones on Strats, for sure. Once again- not sure why. I know the originals had the...

    New Zakk Wylde Guitar? On IDOL?!?!?

    First of all, please don't turn this into an "Idol Sux" thread. Get over it, already. Second- I was blown away when James came out to jam with Zakk. But what was this new Bulls-Eye hybrid he was playing? Is this thing out, yet? Has anyone seen this? I am used to his traditional Bulls-Eye...

    What is your favorite kind of flame?

    There is no wrong or right answer (unless you disagree with me, of course). I am not talking about color. Just flame. Maybe you don't like any? Again- I do like flame, so that would make you wrong if you don't. I prefer the deep, wavy, almost metallic/watery looking flame. I like wide more...

    Who's first guitar was a Les Paul?

    I just typed a story in another thread about how my first guitar was a '93 Cherry Sunburst Classic Plus. As a singer, I was tired of looking for a guitarist to help me write my songs. So I figured I would just go buy the one that I always loved. Gary Richrath from REO Speedwagon was the...

    Let's see some Gary Moore Sig pics

    I don't have one, but I have a kinda cool story. I met Les Paul (guitarist) after his second to last show in '09. My uncle first turned me on to Gary Moore (cuz he's old) so I had held on to an old Gary Moore Sig guitar flyer. I had Les Paul sign that flyer, "To Uncle Rick, Les Paul." I know...

    Searching for ES-125 Tuners

    I have a friend in search of a replacement for his tuners on his 1949 ES-125. He doesn't care if the tuners are original, or not. He just wants to play his guitar (there's a thought!). Does anyone know what manufacturer and/or model of tuners would work that I could steer him towards? Also...

    Blue Man Group on Saturday

    I bought 2 tickets to see BMG on Saturday with my daughter. It is her 10th birthday gift. Her birthday was on September 13. I gave her a card with a ticket and a seating chart. Her eyes lit up when she saw the ticket. But when she looked at the seating chart and saw that we have seats in...

    Buick LaCrosse

    I got one of these about 3 weeks ago. (company car, basic package with 6-way seat). I like it a lot. VERY comfy. It floats like a Buick normally does. Meaning, it doesn't corner as well as the Grand Prix I had before it. I liked the GP, but I didn't like the storage compartments. Sounds...

    Any reports about The Train Wreck part II?

    I couldn't stay awake at our friends' house in Indiana on Saturday Night. Was there anything worth talking about in regards to Asslee Simpson? I thought it was pretty funny in the ads with Fred Armison saying, "Asslee is saving her voice for Saturday." I think she could rebound nicely if she...

    Joke

    4 people are in a room being interviewed. The interviewer asked," What is the fastest thing you know of?" The first person said, "I suppose that would have to be a thought. It enters your head and it is already done. And then another one follows it right away." The second person said, "I...
