• 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!

14" hollow body -- Solid spruce top, solid mahogany neck, back & sides, ebony FB. Kent Armstrong "Magnum" PU @ 8.74k Ohms. I haven't weighed it yet but it's gotta be under six pounds.

Despite the lack of f-holes this guitar has a for-real acoustic sound, easily loud enough for unplugged practice. Plugged-in it sounds like 12s into an A5 humbucker when cranked but generates some very nice jazz "air" when backed-off.





This guitar is "different" enough that I know I need to spend time with it to learn its lessons. I am committed to hanging with it, as is, for a year. After that . . .



Thanks to Tim Emery at Buckdancer's for making this easy. Time to play!
