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!
Hey guys, been a while, just letting everyone know that I'm in the process of getting the Mapleflame mod Patented. I had no idea that it would have jumped off as good as it did after "TM1" used that term. It may have been done before, but the term Mapleflame mod refers to me, so why not...

Thought I'd post a comparison of the wide panel 53 3x6SC7 version, 54 3x12ax7 and 59 narrow panel Super which is much higher power.

My Quaranteen Project. Reconing and Restoring 50's Jensen Guitar speakers today. Not for the faint hearted. Hardest part is cleaning off all the previous glue from the paper cone/ grey surrounds and the orange spider in the bottom. Soldering the little voice coil wires were a tad scary seeing...
Hey I have been texting and Calling MoonWeasel Stephen for months and have not heard back from him. Anyone have contact with him. I'm actually worried. He lives in the Charlottesville area of Virginia.
Thought I would do something different on this forum and start a new idea Thread of Video, it's Called
"View My Guitar" guitars are pristine, guitars have character, can show a wonderful History of how they traveled and were played.
Here's my First installment.
1969 Gold Top Conversion...
If you remember a few months back I restored a 54 wide panel Twin amp that had 2 refined original Jensen P12Q speakers. I will not lie, they sounded like Shit. I have several 2x amps 10's and 12's as well as single speakers in amps and lose. I tried everything through that chassis. Each...
So many threads on 52-56 Conversions, gold, Bursted and even 68 Conversions. 69's at one point have a one piece Body, three piece necks but have "I really" think some great wood going on. Such an underrated and not talked about enough unless during "Wilko Era" luv yah bro. I purchased this...
I have a set of the original Dr. V WOLFETONE pickups in a replica and I love them, about a month ago I played an R7 that had been refined to a burst pattern and that guitar had the same series pickups, I was astonished on how good they sounded in a different guitar. All the same tone variables...
Has anyone heard from him or know how he is doing. Last I remember he was going through a tough time, which I wont mention. Kerry was great to have on here. Hope he is ok.
Some one Holla at him.
As everyone knows I love basket case guitars, but I am a fan of those critically messed with amps. Over a year ago I found this 60 Bassman that had no tweed, sprayed on microfiber color texture paint, stuck on pins stickers etc... Homemade Baffle with a 12" and 10" speaker. The chassis had a...
Amp works in instrument channel but not microphone that just muff. I only have use of Presence and instrument Volume pots. Treble, Bass and Mid does not work. No scratchyness when turning. I double checked the wiring, seems fine. I replaced the power and output trannie. Any suggestions?
I absolutely love the tone of this early V Front Superand, yes the late maple board Strat makes a hug difference.

As many of you know, I love tweed amps. Most all come with vintage alnico Jensens and many need reconing or if your lucky they are in great shape. Nothing beats an original P10r or P10q for sound in my ears. I tried some 99 Jensen p10r's and compared to a pair of older reconed jensen p10r's. The...
After the previous thread Too Good. Many of you know that I take in horrible guitars for projects and luckily they turn out to be fantastic guitars. "Gibson" I have a 63 Strat refin that plays and sounds terrific. How bout buying a 51-53 Tele Body removed finish and Neck with some refinish. Lets...
If you ever question the versatility of JD, your nuts. I love this because its so different from what he normally does. Bassman and Echoplex 4 sounds awesome

I found this cool 53 Bandmaster which is the in between version that goes from the Octal sockets to the 12AY7/12AX7, will have to be sanded down and retweed but I'm used to that. These are precursors to the 3x10 variety. This comes with a P15Q like the pro of the same year. Will have it...
