• 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!

    Reverb.com - ARGH

    With everything happening, Reverb is still allowing people to list, buy and sell without any warning on their home page. That is SICKENING. An inkling of transparency would be nice. I’m talking to several fellow Reverb sellers via text at the moment…most of them had no idea of the shenanigans...

    That guitar…talk about androgynous.

    Billy Squier Signature LP Special and Junior

    Did anyone rock harder in the early 80’s? Up until the “Rock Me” video debacle, Billy Squier was turning out some heavy Zep inspired rock that featured killer tone, cool guitars and that HUGE open drum sound. Super tight band, awesome vocals and a great bass player. Billy was always an...

    1979-1983 Silverburst Les Paul Custom Question

    I’ve recently come across a few where the back of the neck and body were bursted. But not the headstock. The cynic and skeptic in me defaults to “headstock” repair. But, a the sellers swear the headstocks were never broken. Either way, I’m picking up an all original, excellent condition 1982...

    1979-1983 Silverburst Les Paul Custom Question

    Question: How come some Silverburst Les Paul Customs made between 1979-1983 have the back of the body/neck/headstock “bursted” and some only have the body/neck “bursted” with the back of the headstock painted black? Thanks in advance for your responses.

    Les Paul Custom production cutoff dates 1973 to 1974

    As far as the “Twentieth Anniversary” inlay on 1974 Les Paul Customs, not all of them have that inlay. I have a 1974 LPC without the anniversary inlay. 🧐

    made a big mistake

    So many people are chasing some invisible dragon. Stock ROCKS. It’s that simple. If there is an improvement to be had….it’s so minimal that your dog could barely hear it. I’m not trying to be a jerk. I’ve been there. Swapping, flipping, selling….it all always came down to my touch, phrasing...

    1958 3/4 Les Paul Junior with Pickup in Neck

    Me neither. Total odd ball.

    1958 3/4 Les Paul Junior with Pickup in Neck

    Locally. I went to look at an early 80’s guitar he was selling and he pulled this out. It’s crazy. Best score in a while.

    1958 3/4 Les Paul Junior with Pickup in Neck

    This is interesting. A 1958 3/4 Les Paul Junior with a neck pickup only.

    Oak

    Thanks for the links. I was originally talking about the Oak/Korina model. The Old Hickory…I forgot about that one. There’s a few different versions I believe.
