• 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!
  • 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

I heard Billy Gibbons hollows out his historic reissues. What do you think I should use on mine? A hoe, a shovel, or an axe? Maybe an awl?

I saw that in the new GP. Why doesn't he just have the Custom Shop build them that way for him. Hell, he can also buy an Elegant!

Get a ball o' yarn. And spin it. Isn't that what Billy does?

You may find this hard to believe, but I have the solution. I read in Science News about ship worms. They aren't really worms, but clams without a shell. They have tiny little helmets on their heads that allow them to file (the word file is a quote) into the wood and survive on wood alone for years during lean times. Anyway, these ship worms eat only with the grain and they never cross into each others burrows.

So I figure if I get maybe two dozen clams with helmets and start 'em off on the bottom of the guitar, I should have a fully Gibbonized guitar within a year or two, and without even removing the top (or using any garden tools). The only problems is that I think the guitar would need to be under water.
