• 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!

Often called a 1968, His goldtop is one of the early 70s models.

Great stuff from that whole band, to be sure.

Really? I saw barrel knobs, and what I thought was a low logo.

I was wondering about those 70's looking P90s! Thanks for the correction.

He took the covers off revealing the clear bobbins and copper colored coils. It's a wraptail, so the '68 thing is wrong. Many articles called it a '68 for a long time.

He's long been one of my favorite players.
