I bought a new 2013 les paul standard quilt and the first thing I did was remove the neck pickup to see a long neck tenon that is super clean. I believe this guitar is engineered very well to what I like, the 60's compound radius fretboard fells just a little faster up the neck. The guitar...

After endless searching for a LP Custom that: is under 9 1/2 lbs., nice amplified and acoustic tone with stock hardware and pickups, straight neck with NO hump, correct 59' neck profile-not R7 big /not R0 small and sounds good enough that I don't need a historic model with Braz rosewood board. I...

Any opinions of owners of a new EXPLORER ? Anyone bought a white one with ebony fingerboard ?

The only sound I really liked from my 9001 80's Marshall rack pre amp was the Plexi crunch channel. Does a pedal exist that can do this sound? No rack stuff, thanks.

It's time to indulge in R9 flame action. If someone would be so kind to post my couple of 2001 R9 pics please give me e mail address. :salude

I'm using my Hiwatt 100 watter with 2x12 cab and 2001 R9 LP loaded with Lollar Imperials with Maxon Distortion Master pedal. I'm keeping this Maxon, it's tone is neutral and sounds very organic with no cheese tones and will really belt out the gain when needed. Any ideas for say Marshally...

I'm considering an Elegant for a different sound (good sound, not just different :biglaugh:). I have the perfect LP, my plaintop 03 RO and would rather have a lighter LP for my other main guitar than using a strat thing. Owners of Elegants please set the record straight :salude

:wha Removed one of my tuners on my 03 RO Plaintop and "japan" is stamped on inside of tuner. These are stamped "Gibson deluxe" on the back. I wrongfully expected these to be USA made. For the high price of guitar I'd like them to be lightweight titanium. The one I removed seemed pretty heavy...

I wondered if anyone has ported their 4x12 cab for a less in your face sound. My 4x12 is a little too percussive for clean sounds at high volume, clean sounds=open back generally. I have 4 Fane alnico 100 watters that put out enough low end that I only need bass set on 2-3 with my Marshall or...

I've sold my 3 Hiwatts this year for a nice profit to allow me to buy my dream guitar,LP 03 RO Brazilian. Looking for a loud and clean lower priced amp I bought a Fender 100 watt Vibrosonic(twin reverb) and sounds a little too polite and clean. I'm considering installing some RFT EL-34 tubes in...

I would like to know the years the Historic LP's tops were dyed and then cleared to enhance flamed maple. I heard in the 90's G did this. I heard this technique is not done anymore at G and the dying reduces "movement". I'd like to hear the + & - of this dying technique.

Just looking through MF catalog that arrived today and LP jr for $650 with vintage burst finish and 1 p-90. Has anyone played one and does it have a 50's or 60's neck profile. How many pieces is the body? I would not be surprized if it had a 2 or 3-piece scrapwood style glued-up body. With the...

:salude Any hard rockers out there using P90 pups ? Looking for quiet and powerful set for flat top lp.

My 2001 lp custom has had tuning issues with a creaking nut on g string. I filed slots smoother, and lubed with no real improvement. I installed a black graphite nut and no more issues with nut grabbing. The smooth molded string grooves are 10x smoother than a factory nut will ever be. Does not...
