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!
Sometimes a friend comes along who is not only a friend but a mentor and inspiration.

I figured some of you may be interested to hear this.
I own and have owned several Historic LP's and Custom shop guitars as well as Gibson USA guitars.
