• 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!

    Billy Gibbons strings (not the usual questions!)

    I've been trying to find more information on these for quite some time, but there's nothing to be found. Does anyone here know anything? I'm thinking that they were 9-42 gauge, probably used in the late '70s/early '80s, before he went to 8-40, then 7-38?

    Faber should know better

    @rockabilly69 That's been my experience, as well. Larry has always been wonderful to deal with.

    Pre-wired Harnesses

    I can't speak to the quality or concerns with the Obsidian, but I haven't ever heard anything negative. That said, I do have Emerson harnesses in several of my Les Pauls, and they are great!

    My experience with Faber ABR-1 Bridge and Faber Tailpiece

    Every guitar is different. I've always had positive results, but sometimes it is very subtle, I admit. However, most often, it's night and day in a very good way. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters!

    Need Help changing the bridge on my new 60’s standard with a Faber ABRH bridge

    I've installed them on almost every Gibson, Epiphone, and copies, that I own. This includes 2022 models.

    The Reverend BFG playing a nice Lester

    It's a Gibson Pearly Gates that was hollowed out by John Bolin. He also changed the headstock to say "Gibbons Lucky Mojo model". Elwood said at one point that it has a Cream T in the bridge, but later stated that it's a real PAF.

    Epiphone Les Paul string buzz

    My tech said that the frets on mine were a total mess as well. But he got it playing wonderfully, and I use eights! I have no doubt that you'll be very pleased. It's just a shame that this much work needs to be done to make them playable.
