• 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!

Check out the Rock N Roll Relics Hearbreaker Goldtops at NAMM with ThroBak P-90 pickups installed. Billy Rowe makes some great guitars! This set of ThroBak P-90's has heavily aged bone covers.

ThroBak pickups in these three D'Angelico Master Builder guitars unveiled at NAMM 2016. These guitars are Master built top to bottom in the USA.

These two have ThroBak's new floating Jazz pickup. I believe these are the only pickups of this type still wound with a Leesona 102 winding machine. These pickups will be on the ThroBak site soon.
