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!
Based on his IG account, looks like he added this Burst to his collection last year after the video was filmed. Anyone know the history of this one? Who owned it before? It's serial # 9-2204. Beautiful color, flame, and patina.
Just read the December issue of TQR which has an interview with David Grissom. He mentions previously owning a '59 Burst. Does anyone know which serial# he owned and/or have any pics of it?
I am in need of a replacement case for my 2005 Custom Shop SG Standard. Does anyone know if the TKL 8826 will fit this model SG?
This one:

Not quite sure if this belongs in the Historic forum or the Other Gibsons forum but it is a “Les Paul SG Standard” per the COA so mods please move if needed……
I recently sold my older 1990 reissue ’62 SG. I had it since new but grew to like thicker neck profiles and I did not play it much...
I need some help figuring out what these stock Gibson Historic pickups are. I recently bought this 2005 Custom Shop SG Standard. The solder joints are all unbroken so these are the stock PUPs. I have a PDF of the 2004 Custom Shop catalog and it specifies 57 Classics. I also have the 2006...
Decided to try some ThroBaks in my 2016 Standard Historic Lemonburst R9. I like the look of double creams in a lemon burst and love the ThroBaks in my other guitars so I took advantage of the ThroBak Black Friday sale and snagged a set of SLE-101's and one Jon's 50's style wiring harnesses...
I originally posted this in the vintage pub but after listening to the entire show I realized they discuss Vic's Historic limited runs too so I thought it should be posted here as well. Great show and worth the listen.
Forum brother Vic is this week's guest on the Guitar Radio Show Podcast...
The new episode of the Guitar Radio Show podcast is an interview with luthier Dan Erlewine. Link below. At 9:24 he discusses his ownership of Mike Bloomfield's Burst and at 13:50 he discusses some of his reissue R9s. Enjoy...
Cool interview with Joe on Dean Delray's Let There Be Talk podcast:

Posting it here because Joe discusses his vintage bursts in detail. Burst talk starts at 39:20 but the entire interview is worth listening to. Joe enters at...
Just received this 2016 Gustavsson ’59 Bluesmaster Limited yesterday from Craig at CR Guitars. Due to some family stuff going on, I haven’t had a ton of time with it yet so mostly just the specs for now…..
According to Craig, Johan has only made six of these limited Bluesmasters so far...
Been thinking out picking up a Collings City Limits - maybe one of the aged versions. Would love to see some pics of my forum brothers City Limits especially some shots of their aging work. Also welcome any opinions on how these compare to Historic Les Pauls and the quality of Collings' aging...
Has anyone tried on of these new Throbak harnesses in their Historic. I am considering one along with a set of the SLE-101's:
Vintage 50's Style Les Paul Guitar Wiring Harness
I have upgraded the harnesses in my other Historics so I know of the improvement they can provide in general. Just...
