• 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!

After 30+ years of Telecasters, I just received a Les Paul for a birthday with a zero in it. Besides being pretty, I can get a lot of different sounds, straight into a pre-CBS vibro champ. I could get used to this 4 knob setup.

Model is LPS50s. Strings are lighter than I’m used to, but setup is good, fretwork is good, and the nut is cut properly for the strings. Someone set the neck angle, intonation, and action. Pickups are versatile - they sound good from clean to dirty, tone up and down - not too hot at all. The stories about bad quality leaving the Gibson factory do not apply here. It’s great out of the case.

I’m extremely happy with this guitar. It will stretch to Jazz even better than a Tele.
