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!

A friend just posted this on facebook. Looks like the neck was refinished, and there's of course black over spray on the rest. But the guard, harness and wood is right. Pretty cool find!
A friend of mine stumbled across what appears to be a 1954 Les Paul at a recycling center yesterday...
In 1971, somewhere between the SG Standard and the Stratocaster that would become his main guitar for a couple years, Jerry donned this nice Special. So funny to go from that to a Strat, but they were getting more country, so I see how that makes sense. Based on the neck pickup location, I'm...
I'm fixing up a John Birch SG for a friend. The body definitely originated in a Gibson factory. I'm curious about the wiring schematic on these things. Any of you guys know anything about these? I'll post pics later, if anybody wants them.
