• 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!

    NAD Hi-Tone Lowatt Custom JP

    Cool amp, Hi-Tones are excellent. My friends 30w version was really very similar sounding to my 72 DR103.

    Hi-Tone amps - any users?

    Hi-Tones are really great, we once did a comparison between friends Hi-Tone 30 and my 72 DR103 and i was really very positively surprised how similar the Hi Tone was to my louder original. Really had the traditional Hiwatt bark and articulation. Very usable amp...

    I don't understand why people dislike Norlin era Gibson products so much...

    With more overall and tighter, punchy bass.

    Gibson Les Paul Deluxe

    The serial number font and Made in USA inscription looks a bit fishy to me (the numbers are a bit too close). Refinish or reneck perhaps? :unsure:
