• 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!

    Bought an 18Watt clone!

    Well I've been mulling over putting together an 18watt from a kit for several months. With work and a new house and all of the other time constraints in my life, I started looking at buying a premade clone...then I found out what a great deal you can get on these second hand. I can get a...

    Elliot Easton Signature SG

    He just sent me a picture and the specs: First of all, Pelham Blue, how cool is that? Here are the specs he sent me (direct quotes): "It is going into production now, and will be part of the 'Inspired By" series, at least at first. Of course it is available as a righty, for no extra...

    Got a Darkback R7

    When I saw the pictures of this beauty on Mark's Guitar Loft's website I was intrigued: I've always wanted a nice darkback. The best thing about Mark is that he will also play the guitar for you and give you a no-nonsense tone report. He said it was a good one and he wasn't kidding...

    New Music/Bands Sharing Thread - Warning..Music Content :)

    I'm always looking for new music and lately it seems harder and harder to find anything worth a damn out there. I thought I'd start a little thread in our Backstage group to see if we could share some of the new talent that we've been enjoying. I know our tastes are all widely divergent, but...

    Bought a Bogner Shiva!

    It should be here on Friday! It's a used, but mint 2003 2x12 combo, the 60 Watt 6L6 version with Reverb. Got a killer price. I've wanted a nice channel switching amp that could get some ballsy crunch without totally sacrificing a nice clean channel for a long time. From the reviews I've...

    Anyone here into Motown?

    Just saw the movie "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". It's a documentary on the Funk Brothers, the musicians who played behind all of those Motown hits. What a great movie! I definitely recommend it to any Motown fans out there.

    Wow, what a football weekend!

    I've been glued to the tube :) Whodathunkit? The Colts whipped at home. I loved it, even if it screws up my superbowl picks. I never got over the defeat Peyton handed my Chiefs in one of their rare playoff appearances a few years ago. I feel bad for Tony Dungy with all that he's been...

    Buckethead Vids

    Has everyone seen these vids before? If not definitely worth checking out. A few things: The public persona he has created for himself is beyond surreal. A handpuppet is involved..'nuff said. The guy has amazing skill. I wonder how much woodshedding this guy has done in his life...

    My idea to fix the Oil/Middle East situation

    So we get a lot of negativity here about the gov't and its inability to accomplish what we desire. Sometimes I think that we forget that we ARE the government. Politicians merely take our good ideas and use them as platforms to attain power. I'm not really sure if any politician has ever come...
