• 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!

    THE Les Paul Tone.

    I bought a used Zinky BV from Cowtown guitars. It had THE Brown Sound/Crunch Tones with my R7. After a month she blew a tube so I retubed it like a fender. In case ya don't know, Bruce Zinky was Mr. Fender Amp Custom Shop for a while, so you know these badboys sound awesome. I love the tone of...

    R7w '57s, Zinky BV, Marshall MF400A cab.

    I don't know why I didn't try this before. What an awesome tone. I plugged my R7 into my Blue Velvet, turned the impedence to 8ohms and plugged it into my MF400A cab. Sounds only the way 57 Classics can through a Fender Shop Custom Head on a very resonate Marshall cab. You didn't hear it from...

    Zinky Blue Velvet (ramblin')

    I was at my local small used/vintage guitar store looking at a '78 Custom LP. I've got an R7 and a SG and a few other guitars and several amps. He brought over a little blue fuzzy amp and set it down and started talking about what magical tone this guitar had as he plugged it in and handed it to...

    Tried Out My Morley Tripler Today

    I've been plugging my GNX3 into my PA lately. Using my amp and PA for different effects settings. I was using the record out on my MF350, but of course if I used distortion on the MF it radically affected the GNX's sound. So I found a new Tripler for $79.00 locally. I'm kinda cheap so 79.00 for...

    Thank you Dave!!!!!!!!!

    Got my R7 BB yesterday. Great deal, fast shipping. Beautiful instrument. Like I said in my historic post. There's just something about a Les Paul and a Marshall. Thanks again Dave having someone with experience actually look over the guitar before it was shipped gave me piece of mind. Give me a...

    '57 Custom BB Arrived! Need a little help.

    Ebony and Gold from Daves Guitar Shop. There's just something about the sound of a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall. As soon as I can figure out how to get my pictures 'small' enough I'll post some. A few minor personal tweaks and I'll really be in heaven. What awesome tones this badboy has...

    Just ordered my new R7 from Dave

    Black and gold. I can't freaking wait! Since I've read so much negativity on the fourm about the custom shop slop, (sounds like a song title don't it?), Dave's picking out my guitar for me. I'd pretty much have had to order it anyway, so I decided to have a guy ya'll highly recommend give her...

    need experiences with 57 or 59?

    Ok, my bonus at work fell through, so I have a couple extra months to save for a reissue historic. A couple months, some freakin' bonus anyway. I've played the 57 and 59. I loved them both but I'll only be able to afford one. I'll play them more, if I can, before I buy. 59 at GC and 57 at Sam...

    Custom or 57 reissue both black/gold 2 pup. Which would you buy and why?

    With in a month I'll be purchasing one of these guitars. Yes, I've played them both through the same amp I have, Marshall Mode Four. I really liked them both but would appreciate any comments from those with more experience with these guitars. Thanks
