• 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!

    Grown adults are the patient ones. It's the kids in the back that are constantly asking are we there yet? Specify what you want in the beginning and let people do their work.

    what amp do you think Peter Green was using on "The Supernatural"

    Junior Watson asked him and he said Les Paul into a Marshall. It turns out Watson is quite the Peter Green fan. There is a masterclass on youtube with Junior that is fantastic.

    GA20 KIT

    The original Gibson GA20T is unique and sounds fantastic! I would imagine you could find an original for not much more. Part of it's cool factor comes from the redwood cabinet.

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    I love this band! Killer singer and guitar player. I first saw them on Austin City Limits a few years ago.

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    Swart builds fantastic sounding amplifiers. The build quality is top notch and he has his own designs. I own a little Swart STR. As for off the shelf parts; everyone utilizes parts from outside manufacturers. Fender used: Allen Bradley, Triad, Schumacher, Sprague, Oxford, JBL and Jensen...

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    The amp looks like a Vibrolux Reverb reissue. Rockabilly 69 played one at a local guitar center and was impressed with how great it sounded. Most of the reissues are not all that inspiring, I was surprised by his love for this amp. Maybe he will chime in. Deluxe amplifiers sound best when...

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    In the Teagle and Sprung book on Fender amps they talk about filling their van full of old tweeds when many had limited interest in them. There were few made and I think the ones that were are sitting in private collections. Mark at Victoria and Clark build amazing amplifiers! I really don't...

    Great sounding speaker, My GA20T came with a P12R. I like these amps a lot however they can be challenging to service because the components are underneath the board.

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    I have many pictures, some are a little to large to attach. I posted a thread a while back of a complete restoration of the '59. The photo hosting service got rid of the photos so the thread is of limited value. The Three in the picture are a '55, '57, and '59. Two of the three are mine the...

    I would love to try out a silversonic. I'm curious about your opinion however I don't want to derail the thread.

    Original Tweed Deluxe - what are the options available today

    Original Fender tweed deluxes are challenging to find for a reasonable price. I don't know much about Lazy J amplifiers. Victoria amps are fantastic! Really high build quality and they sound fantastic. There are a lot of great clones, the 5E3 is probably the most copied circuit in existence...
