• 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!

    1961 GIBSON SG LES PAUL JUNIOR - UNPLAYED & ALL ORIGINAL

    Thanks and yeah it's crazy! This guitar even still had a "new lacquer" smell. Pretty hard to believe. I've never seen one this pristine

    Original 1957 Gibson Les Paul Junior

    Yeah it's interesting you mentioned this. The owner and I had a conversation about that and he claims these were the original ones that came with it as everyone he's known that has owned this guitar has said they were on there from day one. I tend to disagree though, and like you said I believe...

    A bit of Mick Taylor.

    THE BEST Stones line up without a doubt was when Taylor was in the band. They've never gotten back to that level, musically, since.

    BAGS INSTEAD OF CASES FOR SG'S

    It's pretty sad to me that all USA Standard SG's come with gig bags now, instead of a hard shell case. I remember the days when ANYTHING with the Gibson name on it came out of the factory in a case. I get it's an OK bag, but that being said, I just feel an SG should be shipped with a hard shell...

    account of a real 1950s Moderne?

    I give some Moderne history and do a side by side comparison between a newer Moderne and one of the Korina Heritage Series from 1981 in this video. Some people love them, some hate them, but I've always been a huge fan of these guitars!

    9s or 10s on your Les Paul?

    Used 9's for as long as I can remember. We've all heard the story about Billy Gibbons seeing B.B. use 8's, now Billy uses 7's and what a tone! But- SRV went the other direction. It's all in the individual. No one can say what 1 thing is right for everyone.

    R.I.P. Leslie West * October 22, 1945 – December 23, 2020

    R.I.P. Leslie West * October 22, 1945 – December 23, 2020 * So very sad to hear about the passing of the great Leslie West. Obviously one of, if not THE most iconic Junior player. I was fortunate enough to be around Leslie a few times over the years. One time I had a pretty lengthy conversation...
