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!
My name is Rick van Heel, I worked for Dave Carpenter for 20 years and later bought Music Machine from him. I helped Dave conceive this run and was at the factory with him when we pulled all the wood for these guitars. There is a lot of wrong information about these guitars online, including in this forum. I still have all the original invoices and records for these guitars, if anybody wants accurate information, please hit me up! I also have original Stinger brochures and original COA's that I can replace, as I have the blanks and I hand filled out most of the originals. Thanks!
