• 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!

    Danny Kirwan (Fleetwood Mac era) Burst

    Interesting B&W Youtube live early Fleetwood Mac compilation video ... First part, very early,showing PG with his Strat, (albeit background) ...

    The Hollies, (circa 1967) with a Burst and Black Beauty Les Pauls

    Apologies if shown before ... Here are The Hollies performing 'Bus Stop' ... Tony Hicks with a Sunburst and Graham Nash with a Black Beauty. While not what many here would call the 'classic' Les Paul tone, I do recall an acquaintance from some years ago whose band sometimes played support at...

    Gustavsson Bluesmaster "Model 1" variation

    Took delivery nearly a month ago of a new build that I requested of Johan early last year ... As age-related 'wear and tear' infirmity moves on, my request to him was for a lighter-weight semi-hollow modern version of his original slab solid-bodied early 90's Bluesmaster "Model 1" guitar, (my...

    Historic(?) LP's 'duelling' circa '93

    Lenny Kravitz and Craig Ross & Co on the UK Jools Holland show '93 ... "Always On The Run" I'm assuming guitars are historic models or maybe pre-historics? Either way, the music/playing and visuals good ... :) https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iyu49NDwPHI" frameborder="0"...

    Early cream M69 reissue pickup rings?

    Guys ... I have a pair of old Gibson cream pickup rings where the neck ring is thinner than either the vintage or historic neck rings ... No tab inside like what the historic ring has and numbers are M-69 with a 5 one side, with MR492 and a foundry(?) mark the other side. The bridge ring is the...

    Selling some hardware/parts which I had on my CR4. Decided to go back to the cream plastic. The custom brushed SS pick-guard, (Masterpiece Pickguards) cost over $80 alone! What you see in the first pic... Brushed SS pick-guard custom-cut for P-90's, quality USA made nickel P-90 'aged' p/up...

    Early "thin ear" 3/16" '53-'55 Wrap over/studs

    I bought this from Mark's Guitar Loft back around 2005 to fit to my '54 Gold top. Although well worn and quite crude in casting, this one did not 'sitar' like the original one. I used this on the guitar until 2012 prior to the guitar being sold stock with the original. I understand these...

    Nickel & Stainless parts for R4, R5, R6 or '54 BB Les Paul

    Offering the parts in the pic below when I had my Black CR4 LP looking a little bit like Neil Young's "Old Black". The custom made Opaque/brushed stainless steel pickguard was cut from an R4 pickguard template by Masterpiece Pickguards located in Canada. Note: No LP pickguard mounting...

    Green/Moore Burst with "custodian" in the UK

    On The Gear Page boards, mmcquain, (a member here?) posted a new, fairly in-depth video clip of the Green/Moore Burst featured on the Guitar Interactive magazine. Not many responses/interest over there, so I thought the clip would be better received among those who frequent the Vintage section...

    '08 Black VOS CR4 with metal hardware

    Hi guys... I don't usually mess around too much with my LP historics apart from easily reversible hardware changes sometimes. Previously, (when this guitar came over to the UK after being over to the UK after being owned by members rsdean and Shuie here) while all was fine, I changed the...
