• 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!

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. I've played Les Pauls almost since I started playing, my first being a '92 Wine Red Studio I still have. I had a couple Studio Lites, a Traditional, and a Classic, but always wanted a Historic '59. About a year or so ago I finally decided to bite the bullet and sold a few pieces in order to fund an R9. The best shop within driving distance of me was House of Guitars in Rochester and what a great experience it was, shout-out to Curt. They took me to the back amp room and brought me Historics by the armful while I tried them back to back. The very first one I played was an R0 V1, which ended up being the one I chose. At 8 pounds 4 ounces it's nice and light, the neck is 0.86-0.94, so on the smaller side of R9 necks, but it fits my hand perfectly. I love the top, very figured without looking like a PRS Private Stock or something. This guitar is the one I've always been looking for and the honeymoon hasn't ended even a year in. I absolutely love the pickups and the volume and tone controls are so sensitive and usable across the whole range. This is a lifetime Les Paul, I just can't think of anything about it that I would change and kudos to Gibson on the Antiquity Burst finish.

Congratulations. That is a beautiful guitar. I have owned a les paul classic for years and recently purchased a R0 V1 - didn't know that a Les Paul could be this good. Enjoy yours.

Fantastic looking guitar! I’ve only had my 2019 60th Ann. for a month but I feel the same as you do. On so many levels it feels how I imagine a Stradivarius would: alive and waiting to be speak. I have a long way to go to become a strong player and this instrument is going to be there for the entire ride. I know I spent a lot on it, but it has already rewarded my decision to do so.
