• 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!

Replica Les Pauls show em!!

If you bought this then may I say many congrats to you sir. It was truly an incredible instrument. Feather weight and acoustically punchy and loud, only wish I could have plugged it in.

seems like the whole 'head stock' issue is a known 'no-no'

sounds like the criteria are not too strict :hmm I have a few, a couple even have the correct lumber species but I don't have a photo host

used to do Photofucket but then they wanted $400 a year :laugh2:

Nice image in the shade NYC. They did a nice job on capturing a vintage patina. I hope it is a match made in heaven.

You can't get much better a 59 reproduction than my new Replica...

Hi,
Do you consider the Replica's good value, also considering resale value? I know guitars are not items for investment, but I like to change gear quite regulary and then it becomes important.
I'm considering a Tom Bartlett LP '59 ri. The ones that have played it say it's a wonderfull piece and they know what they're talking about. It's actually for sale for quite some time now.

I'm also looking for a 50s LP jr or special, but in Europe the prices are going up too fast. Maybe later.

OK, if you don't like the question, ignore it :)

I've been playing it a lot more lately. It is quirky and has a long story about how it was unplayable when I bought it, but it does feel/sound great.

Although one of the best Les Pauls I ever played and owned, I unfortunately need to part with it... It took me a long time to find one in Europe.
Tom Bartlett sure makes some fine instruments.
