    Thinking of building hard case for 1940's Gibson BR-3, glue & nitro? lining?

    Hi everyone, I have been thinking about building a hard case for my lap steel for some time. However, inevitably the inside of the case will be heavy with outgassing and fumes from the adhesives used to hold the lining in. What adhesive and lining material would you use to not have any finish...

    Hi everyone, Some friends and I are starting an automotive podcast which will primarily be recorded in my apartment. There will be three of us sitting around a table. I have a small mixer board with phantom power if needed. I could use my instrument mics in three stands and record the three...

    Solved: The Mystery of the Crown Inlay ( 1968 Les Paul Standards )

    LPF Exclusive: In the 'Return of the Les Paul' advertising literature and the Gibson Gazette magazine released in mid-1968, the headstock of the soon to be released Les Paul Standard looks pretty familiar. Pearl inlay with dot over the i in Gibson? Check. Kluson tuners? Check. Blank headstock...

    Shreddin' on a 1946 Gibson BR-3 Lap Steel

    $250 Craigslist find a while back. Found it in rural West Virginia. 100% original. Even the tortoise jack plate is uncracked. Amazing because the guitar has been played to hell and back. Through a 2007 Fender HW Deluxe. Enjoy! http://www.latesixtieslespauls.com/lpf/moonweasel1946br3.mp4...

    LSLP Minutia which only interests me :) -- Distinct Case for 1969 LP Personal

    Recently a kind gentleman out of Norway sent me pictures of his killer, very early LP Personal. I noticed right away that the case was something I had not seen before. Note the special pad built into it. My period literature does not list a separate case model number for the Personal and...

    Inflation Adjusted Prices for LSLP's

    I figured it would be fun to use inflation adjusted figures to see what LSLP's sold for new, but in today's dollars. I will be using some period literature for the list prices. A BIG difference to the bull s$%t, conjured out of thin air, worthless list prices from today's guitar companies...

    Nut Width Survey: LSLPs

    Hey everyone! And no, not THOSE nuts, your GUITAR's nuts. My April 69 LPC always felt narrower than my R4, but I measured them and they are exactly the same. I attribute the sensation of it being narrow to the rolled binding, the taper to the neck (unlike my R4 which barely tapers at all)...
