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!
This is one set I've not gotten around to trying but am still very curious. Marshallheads (various) were always too hot for me. I do like the Legends though.
Anyone rocking the Dr. Vintage pickups still?
I've heard of the Creme Brulee, but didn't know about all the other models. Demo vids sound killer! Anybody using these?

JCA50H ordered from MF (12% off, free shipping). 2 x 6L6, 5 x 12ax7, Soldano designed. Will be running it through my Stoneage 2x12C with Scumback M75's. First new amp in a while, will see how it compares to my Orange.
Is it normal for the screws/saddles to pop out so easily when adjusting? This is on a brand new saddle, never installed, not notched yet. They pop out with the slightest turn - but the fit seems pretty tight all around.
I've used Grover Rotomatics on my LP since '07 or so. I'm coming back around and frankly I'm tired of the look, weight and seems like I've had tuning quabbles ever since. They've never seemd really tight and accurate to me, I think they are the Chinese made Grovers.
Which leads me to...what...
I finally got around to rewiring my Heritage last night, all was going good, nice clean soldering, everything checked out...until I soldered the switch ground. In 20+ years I have never had a switch short on me. It's the neck side at the ground connection. But, I see no runaway solder or...
In my experience, I'm finding the heavier the guitar, the bigger/beefier the sound. Not always a good thing, there is a happy medium. Anyone else found this to be true?
Just looking to see if anyone around here are using them, at least in the bridge. I prefer these to the Mules based on the soundclips on their website. Any reviews, comments??
Here's a video featuing the RR bridge/Mule in the neck:

I am very familiar with the sonic differences of a cover vs. no cover. I've a/b'd this with many pickups over the last several years and almost always prefer them with no cover.
However, I know not all PAF's came with covers, some did not. Just curious your thoughts on this and if the best...
Just wanting to confirm the specs on the '58?? BB1 neck, BB2 bridge, 500k pots all around? Is that correct? Do all the Reissues and VOS models use 500k and not the 300k volume pots like the Standard/Traditional/Classics?
What about the '59 - what's the main difference in the electronics on...
As I mentioned in another recent wah thread, I've owned over a dozen or so wah's in the last 5 years trying to find "the one". I've come full circle and decided to do one last shootout with three new models that had been on the list for a looong time (Teese JW, Vox HW, MC404) and a re-visit of...
