    Which do you think are the most important tonal qualities of a good Les Paul?

    1. Looks 2. Neck profile 3. Acoustic tone For me, the amplified tone is just a different version of the acoustic tone.

    Gibson Les Paul Gold Top Deluxe

    melpi65, there was a great player in the 1970s that played a Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop similar to yours. His name was Barry Bailey and he played for the Atlanta Rhythm Section. I thought you would enjoy these tunes.

    ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ – Go See It In the Cinema!

    I saw it Saturday and really liked it. Great video of the number one burst with classic color. I liked the us against the world feel they had. It is amazing how big they became. And, in my opinion, well deserved.

    Antiquity Pickups

    I used them for years. They are very detailed. To me, almost like Strat pickups. You cannot hide in them. Impressive.
