• 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!

    LP Standard w/ Toggle Switch Issue

    Hello all - I have a Gibson LP Standard that has the all-too-common toggle switch issue where it won’t stay in the bridge position but always pops back to the middle. I’ve seen numerous posts on “bending the tabs” inside the cavity . . . Can anyone provide a specific picture with how to actually...

    Experience With Gibson Garage?

    School me on Silverbursts

    I too would like to know the history of the Silverburst - moreso from the build/construction standpoint. I just got what is supposed to be an authentic '79. It's not as heavy as I expected - 9.4lbs on the bathroom scale (I know, I know); I guess after talking to folks I expected a big ol'...
