Left Handed Les Paul Standard- 1991 or somewhere around there

I dont play in a band anymore, haven't for quite some time. Been modifying and building amps and effects pedals for the past 20 years. I build and mod custom electronics for touring and production companies as well.

I like to test my gear and play through my Lefty 1991 (i think..) sunburst standard and a modified Marshall Studio 15. I like this combo because it cleans up very nice and clear, but I can drive the crap out of it with anything I put in front. I also use a modded JCM600 for anything I need an effects loop for.

Orange OR15. Kinda stumbled into it, wasn't looking for it, and not the kind of amp I would normally seek out, but got a good deal and it sounds great at low to mid gain levels at home volumes, which is how I play. Sounds great with my LPs into the Cannabis Rex, the Red Fang, and the Vintage 30 it came with.

2011 Studio Fireburst gloss stock, because I got a steal on it. Still looking for
the right older Standard.
Play through an Orange AD30 head with PPC212
cab, and a Fender Blues Deluxe Reisue.

96 Les Paul supreme through a Helix.

Lately, my '72 Custom & '67 twin have been getting along just fine.

Why? I likes the sound, fat to twangy chock full of sustain & crunch free.

I play my Les Paul Studio. but mainly through my macbook but would prefer to use amps but where I live makes it difficult there is no way I can play loud.
I only have a old Orange crush 15r amp that I bought maybe 15 years ago but i do like it. I do have a blackstar fly 3 too but hardly use it.

I am trying to find a amp I can play at home that is good quiet but sounds nice.

Mostly play in small bars and VFWs etc. I'm lead guitar in a four piece, usually bring my 2008 sunburst LP Standard because of the locking tuners. Also love the compound radius neck - I think this was the first year for that. Amp is either '73 Silverface Fender Deluxe Reverb with a Weber speaker or a stock Fender Blues Jr Tweed "NOS". Tried the '67 Bassman and even the drummer complained about the volume! Homemade pedalboard (on a "Holeyboard") or just a Boss ME-80. BTW, this is my first post ever.

Madhouse · May 6, 2017

I have 2 Les Paul LP 1 & 2 amplifiers, Les Paul Professional, and either a 1967 Rick 360 12 and Mosrite Combo 12. This is what I use the most. I have a 96 Lucille, and Rick 480 as well

My Les Paul is a 2016 Gibson Les Paul Traditional, but I've upgraded (IMHO) many of the parts: Faber Bridge and Stoptail, BKP Mules, 58 repro wiring and Grover kidney bean tuners (was perfectly happy with the original tuners, but a mishap at a gig broke one and I ended up upgrading them - happy with the change). Also some minor cosmetic tweaks - blank truss rod cover and original style control knobs rather than speed knobs. My aim was to get it reasonably close to a 59, without breaking the bank.

My amp is a Fender Mike Landau Deville and is an awesome amp. I'm a fan of a clean amp as a pedal platform and this amp was designed with this in mind (since that's how Mike rolls apparently). I run into it through an ever evolving chain of Wah, Boost and OD pedals - I usually have a couple of OD's, 1 for the LP and 1 for the Strat/Tele and then another to boost them for solos.

I have a recently purchased 2016 50s tribute gold top which I am trying to love don't really yet. Needs a set up and maybe pick ups. Not really digging the 490/498. I had an older studio that had these and I know it sounded better.i am playing through my older blues Jr with a new Celestion speaker. The original eminence was getting a bit tired. I use a bad monkey overdrive for a little extra flavor? If anyone out there has any suggestions or recommendations on pick ups or anything else I all ears. I'm thinking SD JB S4 in the bridge. I got a good price used from GC on the guitar so I want to keep it.

Depends what sound you're after, but I am more than happy with the Bareknuckle Mules I have in my LP. The Stormy Mondays are also very, very good. At some point I plan on getting a Goldtop and fitting a set of those to it...
