Tom's contract ran up with Fender, so now he is going with a Gibson hollowbody. Just look at that headstock! Hideous! Not even a Neck pickup and just 1 volume knob. Not to mention a freaking racing stripe on a guitar. What is the guitar world coming to?
I have a Studio in Wine Red and the finish is extremely dark. Its just not as red as many other Studios that I have seen. Could somebody give me a polish or wax that would essentially "brighten" up the wine red finish?
I am looking for a tube amp for around $700 or $600 and I have no knowledge whatsoever about Marshall's or anything. I spend too much time researching guitars! :lol1
But anyways, I play a lot of Classic Rock, Rock, and Some Jam things such as Widespread Panic, Gov't Mule, and Phish.

Hi guys, I've been playing guitar for about 2 and a half years now and was just wondering about a few things.
Ok, lets say I have two heads(both 100 watts) powering a 200 watt cab. Can I hook up a few power amps up to it, and if so, how many?
This has puzzled me or awhile, because every time...
You won the lottery, money is no longer an issue. You can buy only one amp and it will be your last. What is the dream amp that is the one you will keep for your lifetime?

I have a gibson cleaning kit and am trying to find out if it can work on my studio.
The finish restorer says "for noncellular finishes" would this include lacquer?

I have just recieved a 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio with Ebony fretboard from New Jersey and has been sent to where I live in, Memphis, TN.
It is a beautiful guitar indeed, but the frets are sticking out from the...
The previous owner of the les paul studio I own has adjusted the truss rod to having a high action. I have done a search on this topic and couldnt find it, but I know Ive seen this before. What does Gibson recommend the truss rod be adjusted to?

I just took a trip today to the Gibson Guitar Factory in Memphis, Tennessee where they make the hollowbody electrics and such. I took a trip to thier retail store.(cleverly named because everything for sale in there is retail price)But I am fairly new to Gibson Les Pauls and have had little...
Hey guys, I have a wine red studio gem series, and I'm just wondering if it were possible to replace the P-90's with humbuckers.(Not quite sure if I want to, but I'm just wondering)
I love the P-90's, don't get me wrong, but I also like the fat noise of humbuckers and would like to know if the...
Hey guys, I was just lurking around today and saw that most people like the maple tops with the line flames in them, and I never see many quilt top les pauls. I was just wondering if there were any people out there who own a quilt top, and if so that you could post some pictures?
Just looking...
I have a 98 Gibson LP studio. I have seen other forum topics talk about how the standard has better pickups than the studio. I was thinking about replacing the pickups on my studio, but what should I buy?
I want to put the studio pickups on my ibanez or just sell them away.
But, I am just...
