Replica Les Pauls show em!!

[Stow]

They are made to be played, I love this guitar. its total killer

 

[Flying Fish]

Wow, that's amazing.

I went a different way on a replica i got a few weeks ago - refinished '52 was the theme.

That's bad a$$. I'm thinking of doing something very similar.

This one arrived in the house yesterday. It's a really really great guitar and sounds every bit as good as it looks !

Oooof! Stunner!

You don't see too many non-standard replica's, but to me they're just as cool.
Thought I'd post my TV junior. I shared some pics earlier in the vintage section regarding TV finishes; but figured this was a good spot for it.

I measured and double checked everything off of my '56 Jr, as I always wanted a TV single cut in addition to the sunburst Jr.

That doesn't look like TV yellow to me. It looks like white that has aged.

Oooof! Stunner!

I like it. A lot.

I only held this one briefly as I was concentrating on the other, which I was buying. After spending some time with mine I would love to spend a little time with this one now. Like every guitar, they were quite different and have their own character.

What did you think Paul? To me, they are on another level.

I'm on a sticky wicket a little here Rob, having expressed my negative opinions of these "type" of guitars many times in the past.

However I will openly state that the proof of the pudding is indeed in the tasting...and it is undeniable that this guitar ( and I strongly suspect your guitar also - I'm familiar with your builder's work through another pal who has 2 of them ) is, as you say, on another level compared to what is available at the same price point, certainly those CC's and TH's I've personally played, and which I consider to be very great guitars also.

That may be considered blasphemy by some, and I respect that viewpoint, but I can only speak as I find ( and hear ). This guitar would murder my Murphy, and you know how much I think about that guitar....

This specific guitar - fantastic colour and ageing - the top is simply superb. Fabulous neck, really dark ebony like board - nice shrinkage on the inlays. Light - definitely sub 9lb's. Sound wise, got that mid honk in spades, lovely voiced instrument.

I know it's a ************* ( insert your own descriptor) but as a guitar in it's own right, it more than punches it's weight....I thought it was superb, and would have it without blinking, regardless of what it is or isn't.

Can't wait to see and hear yours at the next get together.

Yeah, lets do it again.

I was thinking it'd be cool if this could be a bi-annual thing, so May is the month...how's the diary looking for then Rich?

If we've got a clear run on a weekend in that fair month, I'll get the ball rolling with a new thread in the Historic's.


Great to see you today Pal. eace2

This guitar MUST be on another level then as your Murphy is MAJOR League without a doubt!

Very much up for another meet too!
