• 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!

    What do you guys use to condition/oil rosewood and ebony fretboards?

    I use fret doctor, I know it’s not cheap but put it into perspective, it’ll last you at least 5 years plus. Mine has and I have 5 guitars with rosewood necks.

    57 Junior Logo Question

    Fishy, can’t see the word junior rubbing off when the rest of the script is that clear.

    Why does the Fender Custom Shop no longer offer Strat or Tele reissues with 7.25" fingerboard radius and vintage-size frets?

    Re the OP, it does seem weird that everyone wants vintage everything and people would pay £££££££££££££££££££ or $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a real 50’s or 60’s strat yet they don’t sell as well in a reissue/ custom shop. I don’t look at strat forums really but the guys on here are obsessive to the nth...

    Pedal board issues.

    Thanks. I have tried using the power supply that came with the Electro harmonix pedal (it’s 9v 500ma) it still buzzes. The power supply I have does have a 9v 500a output too. If I disconnect the electro harmonix completely the buzz reduces hugely.

    Pedal board issues.

    Definitely the power supply. Thanks for the advice. Any suggests (other than the Voodoo, unless that’s definitely the one to go for), needs to do analogue and digital pedals. Thanks in advance again.

    Pedal board issues.

    Thanks, I’ll try that. I also have a friend that has a pedal power supply, I’ll ask if I can try that and see if it makes a difference.

    Pedal board issues.

    Hi Paul, Thanks for getting back to me. They are powered from a dedicated power supply. It provides 9v 100ma to all the pedals except the looper which has 9v 500ma as the manufacturers recommended. Not all of them take batteries so I’d have to go out and buy quite a few individual power...

    Pedal board issues.

    Hi guys and gals, a little help if you can. I have made a pedal board, see pic, and it’s not right. It’s the not the pedal board as I have tried bypassing it but basically I get barely any volume with no pedals switched on, when I turn any pedal on I get good volume but if I put more than one...

    Fenders like 9s?

    9’s on all my guitars. I just like how they feel to me. 95% of my playing is at “bedroom” volume so the tone things not a big deal.

    Gibson Les Paul 1960 (v2) Aged M2M Historic (2018) Purchase

    Looks great but at that price for a guitar you haven’t even played, if you don’t like it, what will you lose in the resale value if you try to forward it on?

    Not a week later and "Theodore" hits the used market.

    My tuppence worth, I don’t really see buying a new guitar from the manufacturer and selling it on as particularly wrong, it’s a free world, however I just looked at the “Theodore” online an its a shocker of a guitar. Can’t see why anyone one buy it.

    Need to sell one. Need some help

    I would part with the guitar you play least. I have several guitars and play my Les Paul and strat the most. Against popular opinion I hardly touch my tele. You must know in your heart which one you like better.
