• 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!

    Burstbuckers vs '57 Classics

    To me Burstbuckers are a bit brighter than Classic 57s due to having one coil wound dominant. They are also slightly noisier to me for the same reason.

    I installed Burstbuckers 61 - sounds VERY phase like/thin - what is the correct wiring?

    Gibson ads say that the 61R has " reverse wound, reverse phase windings to control hum when the coils are split". I would contact Gibson for a wiring diagram or instructions

    Your Worst Concert Ever

    Johnny Paycheck played a bar 1/4 mile from my house. Paycheck was drunk and abusive, the backup band hadn't bothered to learn his songs, someone loaned Paycheck an old blackguard Telecaster that wouldn't stay in tune for a whole song. Just a dream.

    Bigsby string grounding

    When installing a Bigsby on an SG with the strings grounded to the stop tailpiece posts, how would you recomend routing the string ground to the Bigsby? The Bigsby is a B5, so it wont contact the strap button like a trapeze tailpiece is grounded
