Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
What sort of guitar situation are you running over there molly ? Room for the stinky strat and a lester to cohabitate ?
Have not been in the gibson fanboi camp long butmy leanings in terms of les pauls fall squarely on gold tops and TV yellow specials/juniors both of which benefit from being beat to heck in my opinion.

The first guitar I bought entilely with my own money was a real Lester. I was 14. I've been trying to find the one B&W photo I have of it without success so far.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Not. Why hang an ugly slab of plastic on such a beautiful object?Bg wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 6:01 pm My big question is - to pickguard or not? The BG Classic PP that danny is currently the caretaker of, never had a pickguard - it would hide that beautiful PP top.
My current is a Premium and has never had one fitted though it is in the case. I'm still inclined not too as per Greeny, but they look great with them as well - a'la jimmy page, the beast LP, Mark Knopflers.
But its unadulterated with holes and once drilled they're there for life, not just for xmas.
I caught up with the The BG Classic PP over Xmas. Was good to see the old beast again.

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread
One of my favs and some decent amount of regret at the sale (a long time ago)...a very rare black R4 VOS, photos shown have real '55 LP P90's - the buyer took those with the guitar. Please note the coffee coloured crocs.

Got this 68RI clown-burst in a trade. Actually a good guitar. Could have toned down that red with some time in the sun... Sold.
