• 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!

Flametop Friday!!!

That is spectacular and oh so beautiful ! May I ask what shop was this beauty purchased from please ?

Thanks man, I have to agree. It blew me away when I saw it. I literally put one of my other Les Pauls up for sale the very next day to be able to afford it. I bought it from Andrew at Kansas City Vintage Guitars. I will get around to posting a proper NGD post soon.

Just got word earlier this week that my CS9 is done her Historic Makeover. I can't wait to get her back, so thought I would share some glory shots:

COT DAYUM. That is the EXACT finish and look when I think of my dream LP. Flame and everything. Stunning to say the least.

Thanks, Redwine, and Happy New Year! I'm pretty damn pleased with how she turned out. Kim and Co did a unique variation on their usual Teaburst for me. I wanted something a little different with a bit more red left than their standard Teaburst, like JJ Blair's Birdie (which is a bit of a unique transitional mid-60 colour). It turned out pretty sweet.
