• 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!

    Early X-mas RI

    Damn that was the longest wait. Wife couldn't stay out of the presents so I got the new 59 RI a couple of days early. Well worth the wait and money. I only got to play it for a short while back in september at the store when I bought it and other than a quick peek from time to time I kept my...

    18 watt sighting.....

    I was wandering around and happened to stumble into one of the 18w clones yesterday. I was quite impressed to say the least. It was sitting on top of a Bogner head and in front of a THD univalve and I had to pause for a minute. I was thinking "this just reeks of the LP Forum!" Sure enough it...

    Gibson truss rod acorns

    Dan, I have a 95 LP std that has had the headsotck reattached. Either the headstock angle has changed slightly, which isn't the case from a visual inspection, or there is some glue behind the truss rod nut. At any rate, it is now difficult to get a 5/16 socket on the nut to do truss rod...

    JP LP cavity mod pics.

    Here are the pics of the mod to the body cavity to one of my LP stds to allow clearance of the 3/8" threaded bushings for the JP mod, along with the other pics of the guitar during its transformation. I also changed whe switch wire and added 4 coats of sheilding paint to the cavity to quiet...

    The 98 honeyburst JP LP is done!

    I finished my LP std honeyburst w/JP wiring this morning, and it is killer. For whatever reason, this guitar has gold hardware on it, so I ordered double cream SD pups with gold posts and studs, under gold covers, and yanked the covers off as soon as I got the box open. Talk about a pretty...

    KT66, where did you find that schematic?

    KT66, you sent me a valco schematic, and you're right the supro is a valco. Mine has the tremolo and a tube rectofier. Where did you find that schematic, maybe I can locate the actual one for the amp I have.

    Calling Mr. Rich........

    Rich, I got got my 1955 Supro/Valco Chicago 51 1-15 combo back from the ex. It has 2 12ax7s in the pre, a 12ax7 that drives the tremolo, a 5U4 Rectofier tube and 2 6L6s for power. I'm assuming that its a class A push/pull type power amp. what is the aproximate wattage of this type of set-up...

    Neil Youngs LP

    What is the year/model of Neil Youngs Mini Humbcker w/Bigsby Les Paul? I didn't notice the custom diamonds on the headstock, so I'm assuming it's a 70 something deluxe, but that doesn't make sense to me. I always wanted a Bigsby Paul to do his tremolo solo type stuff. An R7 BB w/bigsby would...

    "55 supro schematics

    I am about to re-aquire a 1955 supro 1-15 combo that had gotten left behind in a move awhile back. I believe the speaker blew during a Biker ralley gig I was playing a few years back. Its a Jenson "special design" loud speaker. I would like to get ahold of a schematic for the amp, as it was...

    Class "A" amp Recommendations

    I'm thinking about picking up a new amp, probably something class "A", to do a more vintage/blues type of thing. I heard the Mesa tremoverbs are class "A", but Mesa marketing is sometimes funny. Maybe a vox AC30. I could use some suggestions. 50 watts or less combos, I have enough huge amps...

    Neck Tenons

    OK, I know what a neck tenon is, but how can you tell if you have a long one. Is it obvious when you look at the guitar, or do I need to pull the neck pup out. Is this something my wife can measure so she has bragging rights with her girlfriends. I'm not showing my tenon to LP standard...

    I need 98 LP I.D. help

    I was tearing my 98 LP honeyburst down to start doing the body cavity routing so I could do a JP LP mod to it. I bought it used in 2000 and was told it was a LP standard. I believe it came stock with the gold hardware and gold grovers from gibson, and I don't see any signs of after-market...
