    The Les Paul thread

    Just bought another LPC, got a decent price on a 2013 with a headstock repair and relic finish done by KLH (Did a lot of fender type relics years back, not sure if he’s still doing it) but I plan to have it refinished by Starr Guitars in a charcoal frost blue (like a really dark Pelham blue) in...

    And this is why they should’ve done this decades ago. Gibson/epiphone’s been getting their ass handed to them by Korean and budget Japanese guitars for that length of time while they dicked around putting out half-built guitars so they could slap “Gibson” on the headstock and still make it under...

    I kinda want the ES-355 in white. I don’t really have much use for an ES but that’s a price and spec sheet I’d be ok with having around for those rare occasions.

    Also those sub 1000 Gibson’s (like the LPJ and such) are fuckin garbage. I’d take an LTD over those all day every day.

    Got The 13 and ‘57 for the neck installed. They sound killer. The 13 is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Similar to the Duncan Custom Custom in output, but more focused and pronounced low end, while also getting rid of the harsh top-end, almost single coil like twang that Gibson...

    This one is for sale so I took some fresh photos of it. Really wish I could get along with the neck on this because it’s a pretty nice guitar otherwise.

    Really dumb string tension revelation (can't believe it took me this long to figure out)

    Ah yeah, I forget about nu-metal. Korn were definitely the first band I really remember doing the 7-string thing, and I’d say their tone has more in common with djent than say, neurosis, who were also playing downtuned stuff in AADGAD in the early 90s, but sans 7 strings or huge gauges. Not...

    Really dumb string tension revelation (can't believe it took me this long to figure out)

    This is an old guy take, but I feel like the popularity of djent has also really popularized using basically bass strings for guitars, and it certainly achieves the sound associated with that, but as someone who tunes low and plays stuff more in line with noisy hardcore and sludge, just slightly...

    I’m probably in the minority but I like the hefty ones. My 79 is 11lbs and the SB at 10.2 - My ESP Eclipse I Full Thickness is in the low 9lb range and that’s fine but definitely jarring if I’ve been picking up the LP’s a lot.

    fwiw wherever this m2m came from it seems they were trying to get the specs as close to the Adam jones (antique silverburst, came with no pickgaurd holes and schallers etc) as possible, so maybe a heavier weight was also requested. I browse custom m2m’s frequently on reverb and they definitely...

    My Silverburst is a late ‘22 (mid November according to the checklist) M2M and comes in at 10.2 on my bathroom scale.

    Nice, I think I’m gonna give the 13 a whirl first and if I like it maybe I’ll throw the powerdozer in something down the road.

    Two things - Top and finish on this are awesome. I’m not a big figured wood person but always appreciate a good flame. Second - Do you have prior experience with Arcane? I’ve been intrigued by their stuff for one of my LP’s but there isn’t much online as far as sound samples and reviews...

    NGD - 70’s Explorer Antique Natural

    Same, I just know that I have some guitars with thinner measurements than others but feel thicker because it’s a different shape. Might as well be magic to me I guess.

    Cool guitar. I think I need one of those multi-tools.

    Weird, must’ve taken quite the knock if so.
