    Pics of my old LP with my new Les Trem!

    It actually sounds better with the new bridge. The old one was rusted and bent! http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/wxcaster/HPIM1644.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/wxcaster/HPIM1636.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/wxcaster/HPIM1638.jpg...

    Just put a Les Trem on my LP, now I need a case that fits!

    I'm loving my LP now with new bridge and Les Trem, but realize it will no longer fit in the case. Anyone know of one that will fit a LP with whammy bar? Thanks

    How to paint an LP Special SL white???

    I recently bought a gloss black Les Paul Special SL humbucker, I got it for cheap and feel like doing some experimenting with it. I've always loved white guitars. Would it be easy to paint it white? If so, how? Is stripping necessary, or do you just spray paint it white? It doesnt have to be a...

    Why aren't LP Deluxes on the Gibson Web site?

    I just bought one from MF with an 05 serial number, but the only ones on the gibson web site are discontinued models from 2002. (the 30th anniversary I believe) Why isn't Gibson promoting these? They are awesome! I was going to put P90's in it, but the mini's cut through a little better than my...

    I got my new LP Deluxe and I'm gonna....

    Probably send it back. I have spent all week comparing it directly to my new Epiphone Elitist LP Standard. Other than the pup differences, the Epi sounds better and is of equal quality. The only thing I really like about the Gibson is the fat 50's neck. I was going to put P-90s in it, but there...

    Just ordered a Deluxe and my plans are...

    Hey all, I've been searching and maybe thinking too much honestly about the perfect P-90 guitar for me. I've looked at them all and decided on the arch top Les Paul type, and the Studio Gems didn't do it for me. SO.... I bought a Black Les Paul Deluxe and if I don't like the mini's I plan on...

    Differences between Mini humbuckers on FB and LPDeluxe?

    I know the covers are different, but does anyone know if the mini humbuckers on the Firebird are the same as on the Les Paul Deluxe? If not, is one preferred over the other. I just ordered a LP Deluxe

    Questions about 82 Explorers.

    Guys, pardon the ignorance, I've been a LP guy, Tell me about the 82 Explorers. What kind of bodies, necks and pups were put in these. Are they Norlin? My 80 LP Standard is and I love it. How much would an 82 sell for now if in good condition. Thanks,
