Our band does a bunch of Zeppelin songs in our sets and one of them is "The Ocean", with the Heartbreaker solo thrown in the middle. I've been fascinated by Jimmy's tone for ages and have tried to get closer as I got better equipment through the years. Anyhow, this was recorded digitally in our...

I finally had steel bridge posts put in my R8. This wasn't the Mapleflame mod, just swapping the stock posts for stainless steel, didn't go into the mahogany. When I got it back, it seems like the high E and B strings have noticeably more treble and are piercing and cutting now. Out of balance...

I stumbled onto this today because I once owned a '79 Custom: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-1979-GIBSON-LES-PAUL-LIMITED-EDITION-ANNIVERSARY_W0QQitemZ200387108838QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item2ea8009fe6&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Pretty interesting, but what a price! :wow

I've been noticing for awhile that I was getting a little bit of crackle and noise from my R8, and I thought it was a bad cable. But in troubleshooting it I discovered that the back of the guitar seems to get a lot of static electricity build up when I'm playing. You can see dust/clothing fuzz...

Hey friends, When I got my R8 I put a set of strap locks on right away for safety. After playing the guitar for an hour or so, I noticed when I removed the strap that the strap button on the upper bout was spinning around loose. Not pulled off the surface of the guitar more than 1/4 millimeter...

I bought this guitar online a week ago, and I couldn't be happier with the killer tone and playability. But I noticed that the binding on both sides of the neck have a noticeable cherry overspray. Is there a safe way for an amateur like me to get that off? As you can see in the photos (sorry for...

I've been a member of this forum for a while now but never posted because sadly I didn't own a Les Paul. But after scraping along for quite awhile I just got this one last night and can't believe how good a Historic Les Paul sounds! I've owned a couple of Standards in years past but it's been...
