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!
None of this is true. The first 2 are not hollow body and the last one is not solid body. They are all semi-hollow and they all have f holes.
The Lucille model does not have f holes and has access to the electronics cavity in the back. That one also has the output jacks on the side rather...
I am looking at a 2005 ES-355. Apparently made in the Nashville custom shop (I called and confirmed with Gibson; actually they told me it was technically a CS-355, denoting that it was made in the Nashville CS).
What I find strange is that there is no custom shop logo on the back of the...
I'm in the market for a new ES-3x5 guitar.
What I am looking for:
-FAT neck
-Viking Red finish (these are somewhat rare and/or proprietary vendor exclusive models, I guess)
-stop tail; no Bigsbys, trapeze, etc
-Prefer non dot inlays but for the right guitar, will deal with.
I generally play...
I'm looking to buy a 1957 reissue Custom Shop LP Custom.
The 2015 had quite a bit of yellowing on the binding and diamond inlay. I'm fine with that. I think it looks pretty good to me.
Do the 2018s have similar yellowing? Looking at picture on the Gibson website and some other locations...
I thought Bourbon Burst was the new name for Brock Burst, that name being discontinued due to a potential lawsuit or something from the original guy named Brock.
However, in recent years I've been seeing new from Gibson R series guitars with the official color as Brock Burst. Sometimes, the...
I saw this and thought that this guitar looks and sounds great, mostly due to Roy's playing.
Can anyone identify this model? Do they still make it?

I noticed something when I tried a 50th R0 v1 vs v2 and wanted to see if anyone else experienced the same thing.
The v1 is an R9 neck. I played this back to back and compared to a v2. There was NOT much difference at all in the size and shape of the neck, I thought. Both were very similar and...
Nice looking guitar, but give me a break.
Why does he need a signature? Not like he inspired tons of people.
I'd actually like it were it not for 2 things:
-chambered body
-really questionable Union Jack on the case
What do others think?
Does anyone have any experience with these? Even pre-owned they seem very expensive compared to the regular SJ-200. Of course, there are some cosmetic differences. Any pros or cons to these in your experience?
I may be in the market for this, newer construction - not vintage. Ideally, I'd like a stop tail, jack on the side, figured top, with no varitone. But even after searching, I still am puzzled by a few things:.
-I thought they all come with a varitone (which I don't want), but now I've seen at...
