• 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!

Ahem, can you post photos of the 55 too?

Your wish is my command. :2zone

Great compare shot.

The '54 is just the most elegant looking version of all goldtops. All the extra steel contraptions of the others are detracting.

Mike, that fade on your '58 is great. I've said this before that I'm not really a fan of flametops, but the top on that guitar has just the right amount of figure to be great looking without going over the top. And bonus, it sounds great!!! What a collection of guitars that you have, wow!
