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!
Hi Mat, what are the dimensions on the PRPG-050 Historic pickguard? Need to know pickup spacing, etc. Also, can you describe the color, are they yellowish, tan or? Hard to tell from online pics. Thanks!
I read a magazine article detailing an interview of C.Daniels. He said that the control cavity of his vintage LesPaul was painted with silver conductive paint to shield electrical interference. Check you prospects for identifying his actual LesPaul for this silver shielding paint
Hi Greg. I am trying to restore a 1956 Les Paul Jr. that my wife gave me in 1968. It has been hacked to death. I need to install a piece of mahogany in the middle and drill and route for bridge and pick-up. I am trying to find the exact location for the bridge stud inserts. Do you have any recommendations where I can get this information? Thanks in advance,
Hello-I have a '68 Custom Shop VOS, that is not weight relieved, that I may consider selling. Shoot me an email if you're interested.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm reaching out to you as I'm trying to unravel the history of a lefty Gibson Les Paul Gold Top serial# 1 2616 signed by Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club. It possibly belonged to J Steinman that you know. Charlie at Groovy Guitar bought from a guy in northern New Jersey who had the lefty Trini Lopez, which Elliot Easton acquired later. Feel free to email me at simonteisen@gmail.com

Big Al I was reading one of your posts on adjusting a P90 on a junior.....Here is my delimna..... I have been adjusting a P90 on an Episode Billy joe armstrong Jr and it still sounds thin to me . what would you suggest to get great tone on an EPI junior. This is a 2021 model and it has plug i wiring!!could that be the problem ? Any way if you have any suggestions I would be all ears ...Thanks in advance
Matt I recently purchased an Epiphone Billy Joe Armstrong LPJ. The tone is really thin and i have adjusted the P90 up and down and sideways and can not get a good tone can you recommend a good P90 to replace it with ? Thanks
Hey Brian I ws looking at an old post you made on your junior I recently got one used and it has Grover locking tuners on it. I want to get them off asap. I was wondering what yo used, as you mentioned you upgraded with conversion bushings . Also did you get a Mojoaxe wrap tail piece? how did that work out ?
I have a very simple question: Does Epiphone have an ACTUAL, PHYSICAL, Custom Shop in Nashville or Overseas?
I am under the impression that they DO NOT have a physical location and that the Epiphone Guitars labeled 'Custom " are made in China with different finishes, pickups, etc.
I wrote a whole lot in this space only to be told it was too much. Maybe you could reply to my email address alex@alexmesker.com
How about you? What have you been up to and what are your acquisitions etc. Are going OK?
Alex
