• 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!

    Where's Charlie (CDaughtry) Been?

    I just returned after being gone a long time and it sure does feel quiet. I'm glad to see Charlie and a few of the stalwarts are around...

    A New Project

    I just resurrected my account after a long absence, and felt like I should update this post. Before making restoration decisions on anything, I try and do as much research as possible in order to ensure that I'm not altering something with any historical significance, and in this case, I'm glad...

    Joe B rockin a 1960 new style Les Paul Standard

    I'd love to see the goof plate above the neck pickup on this one - I have 0 8878, which has a rectangular plate like the 1962 catalogue example, rather than the usual trapezoid.

    Fanny Burst?

    Anyone know what became of this one? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7X0YzTOgKRQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    A New Project

    Since I'll probably never be able to get my hands on the Spanish Style, I couldn't say no when I found this: She's a 1949 Bigsby T8 Pedal Steel that has seen some use and modifications over the years. I got her home and took off the name plate: Frankie Juricek, the original owner, is...

    NVGD - Previously Enjoyed 1958 Singlecut Junior

    My first Junior in about 20 years arrived today - this one was used, then used some more by someone who played in a lot of bar bands on the East Coast. She's faded to a slightly under-ripe yellow and has chips and dings galore, but no issues. Played clean, she chimes and rings, crank it a...

    Shipping Info on Early LPs

    Has anyone ever found a way to compare production and shipping numbers for '52 and '53 Les Pauls? I'm trying to figure out how many trap tails were actually made and without serial numbers it's a daunting task...

    A Fixer-Upper

    This just arrived today - a 1930 Martin 000-18: She'll be needing a neck set, a new bridge and a little cosmetic work, but is otherwise in extraordinarily nice condition. I'm really looking forward to hearing her once she's done...

    One for the Acoustic Guys

    A few pictures of one of my favorite acoustics, a Larson-made OM with their patented metal plumbing, which has kept it from ever needing a neck set (not shabby for a guitar built in the mid '30s):

    Early 1957 Black M69 Rings

    Does anyone have good photos of early 1957 black M69 rings? I read that they are different but can't seem to find pictures of them.

    One for the Freaks - The Mosrite Thread

    I have a funny feeling that I'm just about the only person here who loves Mosrites. If not, here is one of the classics, a late 1963 Mosrite Ventures. Originally, this design was made as the Joe Maphis Model, but in 1963, a session player named Gene Moles lent his new Mosrite Joe Maphis...
