I've owned 9:
#1. Early 1968 Les Paul Standard GT - crown inlay on headstock.
#2. 1972 Les Paul Deluxe (cherry sunburst).
#3. 1974 Les Paul Custom (off white).
#4. 1976 Les Paul Custom (wine).
#5. 1977 Les Paul Standard (cherry sunburst).
#6. 2003 Les Paul Standard (cherry sunburst).
#7. 2003 Les Paul Special (satin red).
#8. 2003 Les Paul Standard (ebony).
#9. 2004 Les Paul "59" Reissue (faded cherry sunburst - top changed to burbon burst in 2007).
I know some people really like 1970s era GIBSONs, I had nothing but bad luck with them. Although they sounded great, the overall craftsmanship was horrible:ha .
From 1978 - 2003 I was without any GIBSON products. In the fall of 2003 I went through several EPIPHONE LPs. One afternoon I compared one of my EPIPHONEs to #6 (see above) and I was totally blown away with the quality and sound of the new GIBSON vs the EPIPHONE. I ended up selling the EPIPHONE to a guy in the parking lot of the music store where I bought the 2003 GIBSON. He gave me $50.00 more than what the music store would allow on trade in.
Except for the 1972 Deluxe, the rest of those LPs were an attempt to recapture the tone and quality of the "68" GT. My R9 has more than fulfilled that quest!:jim

60'ish, I used to buy & sell a lot, still have three. Two of those are keepers. They were low cost to me and I don't mind losing the money on them when I die and they get passed down.
ive owned 11, only have 3 left. 2- 2010 50's tributes & a 2004 CR4, the cr4 is my current #1. the only 3 i regret selling long ago a 61 jr, a 57 jr, & a 1980 or 81 ? special order 58' burst reissue, cherry sunburst w/ a flame top, zebras, & only $750.00 new. i wonder where they ended up at ?

4 so far. 3 of them about 10 years back then fell into Strats.
Now favouring an R9 with an idea to getting an R7 :dude:

3, but nothing fancy. A 2001 production Junior (the only guitar that I miss), a '93 Studio and a 2000 Gary Moore Signature.
I don't own any Les pauls right now.

I'm more of a Strat guy, but I love my Les Paul Std Faded. Occasionally, I think of getting a shiny new Les Paul. But mine gives me exactly the Les Paul tones that I wanted for years.
