The Les Paul thread

[budda]

It’s like @STRHelvete dared me to.

Post your Les Pauls. Not your PRS or Harley Bentons or ESP EC’s, those can have their own threads.

Post your les pauls.

I can't resist. I get asked a lot every time I post it so:

1975 Gibson LP Custom
Some sort of PAFs
Refretted this year with SS medium frets
Dad was original purchaser in 1976, I got it in maybe 1997 or so. 25-26 years ago.

The ones I play the most. They're only Epiphones but they are Les Pauls

Love me some Les Pauls.

1990 Standard that I'm absolutely in love with. The wood grain, the checking, the playability, the pickups, everything is exactly what I want in a Les Paul.



I have a wine red studio from 2004, too. I sadly don't have any photos to hand right now though.

This thread couldn't have been posted at a better time. Like @budda, I've been GASing for a LPC for months on end. The recent price hike pushed a new one above what I wanted to pay, but used prices have been insane too!

All that said, I just snagged this one second-hand from the original owner at a good price. It was from their Mod Collection. Has a VOS finish that I'll probably buff out. Comes with a Dirty Fingers in the bridge.

I love Norlin era LPCs. All of the quirky specs are cool to me. Especially the volute.

Black knobs on that one at once haha

Those should be T Tops if they are original. Do they have the T like this?

Nope, they aren't original either. My dad replaced them with what he thinks are some PAFs and threw away the original. Here's the catalog scan.

Haha it's funny you mention that...I told my wife I'm getting black knobs and she was against it. She doesn't play so it doesn't matter what she thinks

Also ordered some Grover locking tuners with keystone pegs.

NO BLACK KNOBS! Go sit in the corner!

 

[dmlinger]

It's definitely getting black knobs haha!

Oh wait..yours. I thought he was talking about the plaintop one. We were gonna fight

Cool. When did he get the PAFs?

 

[Edika]

My Gibson LP, it came originally with Burstbuckers and they didn't stay long. I've tried several sets but the Seymour Duncan Distortions are the ones that have won. Non weight relieved and freaking heavy lol!
