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 have a cool Pelham Blue Les Paul Junior, a great guitar and I like its simplicity.
Do you know where I can order an authentic Junior trussrod cover, one black ply and no bevel? I saw vintage ones for sale but very pricey...

This SG Standard was listed US$1879.
This SG Std have very good points : Hand wired pickups and hand wired controls with possibility to switch to single coil, the fingerboard...
I have 5 Gibson SGs, two Standard, one Standard made like a '61 RI (year 2015), one Special and one '61 RI, they are perfectly balanced.

The SG™ ’61 Reissue Proprietary Limited Edition returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. In 1961, the Les Paul model was put on hiatus and an all-new design evolved into what is today known as the SG or “solid...
I noticed that my Casino didn' t sound very well and it made strange steel noises unplugged.
I order a good quality metric ABR-1 bridge and a long version of the trapeze tailpiece to reduce vibrations between the tailpiece and the bridge.
The result is incredible, awesome, no more bad...
