    Who makes an under 30W head that REALLY sounds like a Plexi!?

    No problem! The DVD they made of that tour, can't remember the name of it, he used the AC30 with a Vibro King. I think those two sounded great together!

    This is one of many I've seen him use one. Another

    Hey Ed, don't know if you're still around, but I find it curious that you don't like EL84's and yet Jimmy Page, who is your guy, always seems to have an AC30 in the mix from the videos I've seen. Maybe he figured out a way to get rid of the buzziness or only uses it clean. Would love to hear...

    Les Paul Custom Sunburst

    Fifties customs didn't have maple caps, they're carved out of one piece of mahogany. I believe customs did have maple caps in the late sixties.

    I made an interesting video comparison: '69 Plexi vs DSL 15 green channel

    I like the midrange of the 69, just sounds more open to me, but they do sound very similar. Thanks for posting!

    Thoughts and opinions please..

    I'd be leery of the '54 as well.

    Thoughts and opinions please..

    Not sure it's a Gibson. Look at the edges coming back from the nut to the first 'point.' The treble side looks longer than the bass side to me.

    Difference between 57's and Goldtop 58's?

    I've read the first paf's in '57 had formvar wire. Have no idea when it changed to plain enamel.

    Any good 10” speaker deals now?

    These are cheap low efficiency 30w speakers I put into a Vibroverb reissue and thought they sounded good. Need to be played in a little. Can't beat the price.

    Question about a specific tonal characteristic of vintage Les Pauls

    This is the best info I've found on the history of Mahogany imported into the US... "There is much confusion as to their common names, with bigleaf mahogany often being called true mahogany, geniune mahogany, South American mahogany or Honduran mahogany." "Swietenia mahogani, known as...

    Question about a specific tonal characteristic of vintage Les Pauls

    I find a lot of picks dull the sound. Try a Dunlop Primetone .88 This is an old, but good thread on wood that was used.

    Should I stay or should I go? (0 7437 content)

    Congrats on a beautiful guitar! I would leave the holes. The biggest cost would be having to live without it while waiting for your luthier to get it finished. I've been through that before and life is too short...
