• THIS IS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE LES PAUL FORUM! PLEASE CELEBRATE WITH US AND SUPPORT US WITH A DONATION TO KEEP US GOING! We've made a large financial investment to convert the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and now have to move to a new host. We also 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!
  • WE ARE MOVING THE LES PAUL FORUM TO A NEW HOSTING PROVIDER OVER THE NEXT 5-10 DAYS. We will experience downtime during that period. Please be patient and have confidence that we will return! Many thanks, Mike Slubowski, Admin

    Callaham Strat Bridge for Sale/Trade

    Hey, everyone... I have a couple Callaham Strat bridges (vintage spacing) with the longest of his three bars. I'm really looking to trade for a Callaham ABR (preferably wireless), but selling is also an option. Either trade straight-up for the ABR or sell for $60 (or negotiable). Thanks! Nick

    Rolph Pretender '58's

    Hi, everyone... I talked to Jim on Friday and he recommended this pickup for me, but had to do so blindly as he wasn't terribly familiar with my amp. I have an EL34 Bogner Shiva, an R9 with BB 1/2 set (stock). The guitar isn't plunky acoustically, but has a high-mid peak and the BB's sound a...

    Attn: Guys & gals in/near Buffalo

    My girlfriend's parents live in Buffalo, so we made the trek up for New Years this weekend. Stopped at Guitar Center on Friday just to take a look and they had what I thought was a very nice, NOS butterscotch R8. It was around $2700 and had a figured top, which was why I said "NOS" since I...

    Historics & Metal

    Hey, Everyone... I originally posted this as a rudely semi-hijacked a thread in the Metal forum, but it would probably be more appropriate here. Is there anyone here in particular who plays Metal with an Historic or know what kind of advantage there is over a production Standard/Custom? I'm...

    Hey, everyone... New here and I've done some searches in different combinations or wording, but can't quite find what the deal is with my LP's. I have seven Lesters right now... please don't make fun of my choices, because I love them all for different reasons... :) I have three Customs, a...
