• 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!

Pearly Gates Registry - Aged and VOS.

Here's #18 (not mine). I've played this one a bunch and it is the best non-vintage LP I've ever layed hands on. I wish I had that kind of coin to afford this.

Thanks for the group shot Ron,

I have #6 and is listed on the Historic Les Paul Database.

All of the Pearlys are just beautiful and each one has different looking flame
and unique.

I am blown away by #6 and plays and sounds fantastic.

Congrats on all the Pearly owners, V.O.S., Aged, and Aged, Signed owners.

Cheers,

Tommy

Sorry - just to be clear, I don't own 2! These were both in the same shop and I picked 240 as it was better looking. Both felt and played the same, and sounded very similar.

Mine, VOS #240, has been named "Francine" :2cool

Cheers! She's incredible!
Killer guitars, nice snag on #240!

Now for the real Reverend Billy G experience, put a set of 8's on it. As Billy said "they make you play different". They really do as you have to really back off your right hand to not make it rattle. When I first played the ones we had for the signing I thought they played terrible. With in 2 minutes I adapted to the feel and everything turned blusey. Heck, even my manager who is a dropped D fiend was playing blues licks and he knows nothing about the blues.
