• 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!

Had to buy this top!

Well, after selling off my '56 I was thinking I'd pick up a fun Les Paul that wasn't worth more than my car that could have around the house and take to gigs without worrying too much.

This top was haunting me so I bought it!

Cool beans on the git! Hope you have as much fun with it as it sounds.

A top not to be passed up. Sometimes, just pulling the trigger is the better part of discretion. Congrats and post 'em when she comes home. :hank

That would be hard to pass up. Stuning Lester, agree on the back.
