• 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!

    Yeah @S. Weiger. The font is completely wrong on the bridge pickup and I wasn't sure about the other two. They seemed like they might be intentionally cut off. What would you say looks off about the actual pickups?

    I was considering this guitar but the top (bridge pickup) label font looks off to me. Anyone else?

    What is an 'ideal' weight for a 1950s gold top w/P-90 pickups?

    I just picked up a 52 goldtop and it's 8.4 lbs. I also have a 68 goldtop that's 8.71. I grew up playing 10 lb. + Norlins, so these two feel incredibly light to me. I like both in different ways, but the sub 9-lb. LPs are pretty great.

    1959-1962 ES 355 quantities

    Does anyone happen to know how many 355s shipped out between 1959 and 1962 (per year)?

    WTB: 1953-57 Les Paul Custom CASE

    Hey everyone, I just got a 56 LPC (dream guitar), but it doesn't have the original case. Looking for an original, mid-50s black LPC case. Thanks!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Wow! Thanks!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Wow. How's the goldtop with the mojoaxe? That's what I would get. My dilemma is that you can probably get a pretty stock 52 or 53 for the same price as a refin alnico custom. And both would be amazing to have.

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Looks amazing. Are those Firebird minihums? What year is yours?

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Yes, I was thinking about a Mojoaxe!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    I bet it's amazing. I'm looking at an original 52 with the case and a refin alnico custom (new case) right now. My number 1 is a 50s alnico custom, but it's a refin. The non-mod originals are just out of my reach now.

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Now THAT's a guitar anyone would take with issues! 57?
