• 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!

    Good Ole' Fashioned Historic thread

    It seems like just yesterday that there were NGD posts all throughout the day. Now, you're lucky to see 5 posts that have been responded to in a week. Everything changes and ends at some point, I guess. Let's see the Historic you are currently rocking the most! Doesn't have to be a 2017...

    Modding a "Collectible" Historic

    How do you guys feel about modding "collectible" Historics, such as "Inspired By" (Page, Pearly, Bloomfield, etc.) and Brazilian Historics? I know they are not vintage, so even if you took out the electronics for example, you could always put them back in. Refinishing and other extreme changes...

    Historics and weight

    Curious when grams and ounces began meaning so much on Historic Les Pauls? It seems years ago people would never ask the exact ounce of the guitar. Now, it's like the number two question behind price, if not the first question. Are we as guitarists getting weaker, or do people really think...

    59 335 Historic vs. 63 335 Historic

    How does one choose between the two? Is it a cosmetic thing, neck carve thing, tone thing, etc. Curious. :)

    Happy Holidays to the Historic District!

    I wanted to say Happy Holidays to the Historic District! Hopefully during this holiday season, we can put aside our petty Historic differences. I thought it would be fun to poke fun at ourselves, and make a list of the things we bitch about regarding Historics. This is meant to be light...

    Modding an 09

    How many of you guys have purchased an 09 with the updated specs (wireless bridge, pots, etc.) but have still modded them? What have you done? Curious if people are doing less modding with these new changes. I know that the pots and caps were ripped out almost immediately in the past years...

    Pickguard blanks

    Where can you buy proper (or decent) color pickguard blanks to cut a Les Paul style pickguard? Thanks!

    Do you ever wonder...

    how well the Historic Les Pauls would sell if there were not internet forums for people to share photos and opinions with? I see guys that have photos on the forums before they even have a tone report on the guitar. If for arguments sake, all guitar forums shut down today...how many fewer...

    54 Historic upgrades?

    What have you guys done to your R4s if anything? Are soapbar aftermarket p-90s direct fit in the stock cavities? Wiring changes? Wraparound tailpiece changes? Thanks guys. :salude

    68 Custom upgrades

    50's Junior P-90 pickup

    Anyone have any experience with 50's Junior dogear P-90s? I was looking to get one, but have very little experience with them, so I wouldn't know which years are better, things to avoid, etc. Would one fit on a Historic Junior? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :salude

    Worst (Best) shopping sprees

    Looking at the thread with all of those Historics in one room...here is my question: What is the craziest you have gone when it comes to buying guitars? For example...have you ever bought two or three in one day or weekend, etc? I would love to hear stories...so then I won't feel alone. :dude:
