• 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!

    Anybody using a headphone amp?

    I use an HX Stomp from Line 6 as my headphone amp. It has a small form factor (about the size of two stomp boxes) and the sound is comparable to any modeler out there. They can also be used as your main rig into the computer DAW or front of house console if you play gigs. Last night for fun I...

    Best free mod ever

    They interviewed one of the old timers once, maybe Seth Lover, and he said they put the pickups on the way they did just because it looked better. Balanced out visually. Had nothing to do with sound or any technical reason at all. I forget now where I read that.

    NGD 1995 Les Paul Standard Heritage Cherry

    There’s nothing wrong with a cherry sunburst guitar. It happens to be one of my favorite finishes for a Les Paul. Remember that the original golden era guitars looked just like that when they were new You have some nice flame on there too. Enjoy it and play in good health!

    Chris Ingram-Les Paul Clone?

    This kid absolutely blows me away. Only 20 yrs old, plays like Stevie and sings like BB. But what is that guitar. I have never seen a top carve like that. He has at least two, a brown one and a blue one. If Chris Ingram isn’t the Next Big Thing I will be shocked...

    Original Gibson Historic Magazine Ad

    Hi folks, back after an absence from the LP world. Can someone point me to an online link that has the original ad (from 1993?) that introduces the historic line? I have a 2014 guitar incoming with a top that sort of reminds me of that guitar but I am working off memory. Searches were...

    Some more eye candy to add to the pile here

    Here is my new guitar, a 2004 R9. My fifth historic (owned them all at different times, I'm a dabbler) and favorite so far. I have never up to this point named my guitars, but this one is called "Starry Night" because the grain on the bass side, leading to the swirl below the tailpiece, reminds...

    Throbaks are all that

    So I have had my Throbaks in for about two weeks now. They are all you have read on the forums here, I won't repeat everything written, but I have read it all and none of it is hype. Some advice, when you install these, put in some new strings. I had old screechy strings in my guitar. I didn't...
