• 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!

    Ten years

    and 5,000 posts - a suitable time to take a break from all the good folks at the LPF. I absolutely love this forum, but I decided to devote more time to guitar playing with the goal to learn a new thing every day. So it's back to lurking mode. I've been a guitar nut since the late seventies...

    Conversion or not?

    I need some advice guys. The nice TM conversion on Ebay got me thinking - many of us see a humbuckered fifties Les Paul as the ultimate guitar. For those who can’t or don’t want to pay the price of an original one, a conversion is an interesting alternative. But what’s the best way to do this...

    Nice vintage goldtop

    1964 ES-335 - in 'sunbrust'

    'Brust' is breast in German. A sunbreast guitar - I like how that sounds. http://www.matthiasjabs.de/PRODUCTS/Gibson-ES-335-1964-SB,180,0,1,555.html Steep price for a hacked guitar though - and that trc is the 1965 style....hm.

    Question about vintage vibrolas and wafflebacks (SG Custom content)

    I'm looking at a really clean sixties SG Custom. What puzzles me is that the gold on the vibrola is super shiny without any pitting, not rubbed off or faded anywhere - it just looks totally new from all sides. The gold on the pickup covers is also still very much there BTW. But the original...

    Early patent sticker pups pricing?

    I did a search here, but have not found the answer. What would be the 'going' price for a set of these with covers? I am looking for the pre '64 variant for restoration purposes.

    Need urgent advice - Marshall 2150

    I have a line on a late 70s Marshall 2150, also known as the "rock & roll baby". Small, 100W with one 12" Celestion Powercell speaker. Apparently the only Marshall ever with a factory installed PPIMV master volume. Rave reviews on HC (9.9 average for sound from 19 posters) but those often...

    Bad pic of a '58 - anyone recognize this one?

    A very vague polaroid picture from 1981. I was at the home of a collector in the Rotterdam area, where he took this photo. He said the burst was a '58. I recall the very dark red shade around the pup selector and cutaway. Very mild flame, with a typical figure above the bridge pickup. Anybody...

    Reversing basketweave cloth - can it be done?

    Rather than replacing too messed up or overpainted basketweave grilles on old Marshall cabs with modern stuff, I wonder if anyone has experience with reversing the cloth. Is it at all possible, is there a risk of breaking the cloth when reversing it, does it look 'correct', etc. Opinions are...

    Question about used Mullards

    A guy offers me a used pair of EL34, black base, XF2 and BCsomething stamps. No brand visible anymore on the glass, there is single halo/getter in the pics (I cannot post these). I assume these are 70s Mullards - they are matched, were used in a Siemens 50W hi-fi amp and test 95% (whatever...

    Too cool '59 TV for $6K

    It's at Dave's. I can't believe how cool this looks, and the top repair seems a minor issue. I always wanted a double cut in the stable...plus it's a '59, TV, and a GREAT price. There must be something I am overlooking? But unfortunately I have other priorities now - maybe you guys are...
