• 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!

    Crack on neck where fretboard meets body

    I wouldn't sweat it. Finish crack which is "normal". Consider it's ageing. If you can't live with the idea of it flaking off the guitar someday, then yes, a TINY bit of clear nail polish or cyanoacrylate (super glue). Use small (like very small) amounts, or it my end up looking much worse...

    Wah Wah Pedal Recommendations

    I love the extended sweep, tank build and smooth operation of my Ernie Ball Wah. Not sure if they still make it a I believe it wasn't a great commercial success.

    What were you doing at 11 years old?

    Playing saxophone for the 5th or 6th year, discovering my "body"... a lot 🤣🤣🤣😋 The saxophone thing lasted another 3 years or so, until I discovered playing the guitar would make it easier to pick up girls!

    Does anyone remember the price of a Gibson Les Paul VOS R8 in 2007?

    Not a 2007, but I paid €2,490 for my 2011 R8, new, at an independent retailer (i.e. not a large chain).

    Guitar Stand damage

    You’ve been lucky to walk away with so little damage. I ruined the back of a 335 years ago, by laying it on top of a coiled guitar cable that I left in its case. Only took a few days for the rubber to eat THROUGH the finish… oh well, live and learn!

    Let's say..... there was this guitar player.....

    I'm in your shoes. I'm 43 and have been playing for the past 30 years or so (damn!). Never took a lesson and was actually quite proud of where I was at, just learning by myself and my good ear (I took saxophone lessons from age 7 to 15). I'm in the guitar business, and with all this COVID...

    Pearly Gates or Custombucker?
