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!
Simmonds has been playing LPs 50 years. He has a nice looking green DC here.
I have always called savoy brown music "Boogie Woogie". It's fast rock n roll with slow blues in the same song at the same time.

I read in Tony Bacon's book printed in 2014 that Bryan Ray of Paul McCartney's band had just purchased this LP 59.
PS: if Whitrock sees this here's a question for him. Do real 59's use bushings set into the body for the two bridge...
I attended a large show in Spartenburg SC today. Very good crowd with lots of guitars. Tons of acoustics One vender came from as far as NY. I saw a bunch of old Martins in the $3-4k range. Also saw several 50s Strats and Teles. One Tele was $19k. Saw a couple of Strat bodies and necks but priced...
