• 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!

I am very happy with it. I did not know what to expect out of the staple AND a total HOG body AND an ebony board. I was expecting Hi-Fi Sphincter tight sounds. It really has a very nice voice that I find impossible to describe. It will do blues and rock well. It takes a bit more to dirt it up but when it tips it will blow up your head. I want to pick up some more of the staples.

The only thing I don't like is the size of the headstock. I feel like it's a target.

What year was she built? I like the yellowed binding, mine is too white.

Sometimes they used a lacquer that has less amber tinting. I had a 2010 VOS that had very little tinting so the binding was bone-colored rather than yellow.
