• 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!

    If you could only own one electric guitar....

    The '54 strat I sold when I got married. I'm divorced now. I miss the guitar WAY more than the wife.

    Should I buy a Vintage '65 Strat ?

    I prefer old strats, particularly ash. The 54 I had was easily the best strat I've personally played. It was a body refin with some repro plastic so it was also MUCH cheaper than something with 0 issues.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    It was pretty wow. At the time, around 2009, they wanted $4900 which was about 2x what a custom was going for. I went back and forth for a few weeks on whether to just pull the trigger then one day....it was gone.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    I check reverb and most of the bigger dealers pretty regularly. I haven't seen another for sale since about 2010.

    No, honest to god Shell Pink. I've been trying to at least find a photo but nothing yet.

    Shell Pink LPC?

    Anyone have/had/seen a shell pink LPC from 1987(I believe)? I didn't buy the 1 I ever remember seeing years ago and would love to track one down.

    SLO-mini - first thoughts? any love?

    I got one the other day. For $250 it's lots of fun and sounds way better than it has any right to. So far I think I like it best with a little hotter humbucker. Sure it's not an SLO 100, no one expects it to be..

    From 'God' to Rolling Stone Whipping Boy in One Generation

    The only reason I still have a subscription is because in the early 90's, they did a lifetime subscription offer for $99. I plan on making them honor that agreement for decades yet!!

    From 'God' to Rolling Stone Whipping Boy in One Generation

    It has gotten to the point where, when Rolling Stone shows up in the mail, I just toss it straight into the recycling bin.
