    My Les Paul CM Workin'

    I've posted some about how much I love the combination of the Les Paul CM playing through a little 5 watt Joyo Sweet Baby. Here's a video I made this morning of myself doing one of my own songs -- the type that to me just calls for what this guitar and amp together produce. Nothing fancy here...

    Did anyone happen to read the Juszkiewicz inc.com interview???

    "Do you agree with Henry Juszkiewicz? Do you think the sweet spot for a Gibson guitar is northwards of $3000???" No. In fact on another forum I am in the midst of a discussion based on my having posted this: The 2nd guitar, a 2015 Les Paul CM has a carved maple top, but is otherwise not...

    for newbies only (under 200 posts) what model LP and amp do you play the most and why

    I own two. A 1988 Standard, and a 2015 CM. The later has become my main player -- going through a 5 watt Champ circuit Sweet Baby. Two great guitars among my 2 dozen plus, but these days when I'm not playing Ventures and Surf on a Jag or Jazzmaster, I'm most likely going to me on the CM...

    "Picture Perfect" for Classic Rock

    There's an old expression that goes "different strokes for different folks." As a player who has owned, and does own, quite a few classic amps, as well as some to me pretty magical, fully modern, modeling models the amp set up pictured here is certainly a "different stroke." But when it...

    Done! - My Les Paul CM as a Blues and Rock Machine

    When I purchased the Les Paul CM just a week ago it was with a certain "look" and "feel" in mind. Along, of course, with that certain sound. The sound was there right out of the box. And look too, in a rudimentary way. Gibson saw to that by merely staining her "top" -- not putting the same...

    Great Service from Gibson!

    We hear so many bum stories about companies not being responsive I thought this positive one should ger an airing. As mentioned elsewhere I recently purchased a Les Paul CM -- a left over 2015 -- from Sam Ash. The "G-Force" tuner on the A string, which works perfectly in self-tuning, did not...

    Fun and Fascination with a Les Paul CM

    I, like many here, have owned a bunch of guitars over the years. (over 2 dozen right now) Each one that I kept I kept for a reason. I like its looks, its feel, its sound, its uniqueness. Basically it had found a place in my life as a guitarist. But on some level I think I'd gotten a bit...

    Gibson 'Busted Heastock' Syndrome

    As I stated in my new member intro I'd been a Gibson guy in the `60s. Those were my working years. Untold gigs, rehearsals, etc. -- a great many of which included a trusty Gibson guitar. I use the word "trusty" with no hesitation. We -- my fellow musicians and I -- never took a "spare" guitar...
