• 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!

Hi guys, new member from the UK here. I stumbled across the forum while trying to cure my boredom in dull office jobs. I've been lurking on these forums ever since and it has provided me with so much great info over the years. It even helped me land an amazing job managing a guitar store a couple of years ago and my passion for all things Gibson has grown stronger ever since.

I have bought many nice guitars over the past few years but one has always eluded me.... Finally after a long time of saving and trading I've finally managed to purchase my dream guitar and join the club :)

Big thanks to you guys on the forum keep up the good work! :dude:

And here she is...

Hey, welcome aboard, and leave all hope behind!
Beautiful Lester, nice authentic looking top
The flame and color definitely remind me of my Jimmy Page.

Now crank that thing!

Ben,

'Looks like a fine Les Paul! Great work!

What part of the UK? I did a couple of years' work with British Aerospace in Hatfield and was absolutely enamored with the culture and environs. My wife and I stationed in Wellwyn.

Welcome,
