• 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!

    It doesn't get any cooler than this! (burst content 9 1880)

    Yes. Hundreds of times. If not thousands. I have no clue what song it is or anything. Literally just watch this clip tons of time.

    It doesn't get any cooler than this! (burst content 9 1880)

    im pretty sure this is the same guitar. i listen to this clip regularly. for some reason it's just a great tone. i know not everything is for sale, but if i hit the lottery this is one of the bursts i'd make a ridiculous offer to the current owner to hope he wanted that less than the $$$.

    rarity of the stinger

    How does the lack of serial number effect the provenance of this guitar. I assume it’s only one piece of the puzzle but does it take it out of that top tier of bursts?

    rarity of the stinger

    bumping an old thread, but since I started it, why not. I notice rumble seat has a 59 with a stinger. says it's well documented guitar but I can't see the serial so I have no way to find the documentation. since im not buying a $450k guitar im not going to bother them. so who can point...

    There is a display in the martin factory with all the vintage acoustics. in the 50s and 60s section of acoustic there are a few electrics in the case with them. I didn't have enough time before my tour started to check closely but anyone know if its a real burst? would be kinda weird to put...

    What’s the deal with these les Paul customs?

    https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/listing/gibson-custom-limited-edition-les-paul-custom-ebony-vos-2019-webony-fingerboard-serial-cs900453/27589661 I see all the larger retailers have them. What makes these cheaper than the gold pickup ones?

    do you remember the first real burst you saw in person? first burst you've played?

    yesterday was finally the day for me. Prior to this i've played another forum members mid 50s to 57 goldtop conversion. i think that had real PAFs and it was pretty awesome. I wish i knew what his forum name was but either way that beat to hell LP is still top 3 guitars i've ever played...

    rarity of the stinger

    how rare is a factory stinger on vintage LPs? both standards and jrs/specials/tvs i know glen kuykendall has one on his burst. just noticed the jr at mark's guitar loft has one as well. for some reason i love the look of the stinger, and actually wish they all had them. i know some put it...
