• 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!

Got me my first Historic!

Thanks! Its fantastic in every way. Major difference when I compared it with the cheaper models. I borrowed this one and a 2019 Standard 50s from my local shop and I really wanted the Standard to be better, but... I couldnt resist. Cant stop playing it! My Jr is heavier than this one?! Incredible.

Firstly a very huge CONGRATS! Beautiful 58! You can get great deals on the 2018 58s. I might get one, thanks for posting that.

I own other Historics but the "Cheaper" R8 Standard Historic VOS considered to not be so fancy in 2016 is my number one in the collection. It just "Has it". Funny that it was listed on Zzounds as a "Plaintop".

Rehearsed with the band yesterday and I must say its a pure love affair to be using this guitar. Its so easy to play and when I flip the stand by switch and hit the first chord, it just blows me away. This pickups together with my Orange Rockerverb 50 head and cabinets is a match in heaven!:peace2
