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!
The pictures speak for themselves. Fat neck, great sustain, clarity and punch of the P90s, ebony fretboard, excellent pots, lovely inlays, cool darker Lifton case, overall looks to kill with True Historic construction. Wired the classic custom way (for now). It's a very customized Custom that I...
Just when I thought I should get myself a decent Strat I stumbled on a well-priced gem at my local store in Hong Kong. Somehow they always have just the guitar I want on sale. I got a LP-style Variax and a 60th anniversary P-Bass there. And now this beast of a guitar. Limited edition of 95...
Just got this natural finish 93 Nighthawk. Thought I'd show and describe it for those interested in that model. I'm a LP devotee but several things appealed to me in this design: a middle pickup, a mini-humbucker in the neck, coilt-split, parallelogram inlays and in this case a really beautiful...
Sweet video with beautiful vintage instruments in close-up including Snake Bite and some tech tips. It could have been a two-hour video and still would be too short. :3zone

Hadn't seen this 2002 interview yet. Slash talks about his involvement in a Yardbirds project. What's interesting is the guitar he's holding. He says it's another Derrig that Alan Niven had been keeping for years. The top is quite amazing. Anyone knows the fate of that guitar? Maybe the vault...
Wow, when I saw the picture I jumped... then read on: they put DiMarzios in this beauty.

Never had a quilt but always liked that Les Paul Slash had for a while in the club days which used to belong to Steve Hunter. Finally I've found this gorgeous lightweight baby that fits the bill. 2011 R9, nice pots and sounds good. First time I get a glossy LP, I'm trying to embrace it but maybe...
A Collector's Choice of a GoldTop would be a bit silly unless of course it was Henry's! Who could resist? :##

Found this video by chance which features Marshall's great 2061x, a Whitesnake guitarist and some nice stories. Pretty good watch.
He talks tone and pedals around 53 minutes in.

Quick question: has anyone ever seen a crack at the back of a neck/headstock happening during a nut change?
A friend of mine had a guitar shipped back with such an unpleasant surprise and it is obviously hard to tell if it happened during shipping or could have been the result of a rough...
Fine compilation of early Fleetwood Mac live performances including a couple of things I hadn't seen before such as a nice Oh Well version 41 minutes in with Jeremy Spencer playing a V. The video montage over the Green Manalishi at the end is pretty spooky.

This won't change your life but I've put together a decent Kossoff tone. Have a listen. For Xmas I'd like a bass cab, a SuperLead and a soundproof room.

Was doing a little Jimmy Page search and most pictures of the #2 signatures have gone. I'd love to see and hear some, especially hear all the switching combinations and what the owners use them for. Bring it on home!
How many of you guys gig your Juniors?
I never got to make a thread about my all-original 59 Junior so here is a report of the first gig I did with it.
I got a couple of bands here in Hong Kong. One does covers and I always thought I needed two pickups and effects to cover our set. But last...
