Warning! Mutant Les Paul from Hell alert! The following picture may be offensive to those of you interested in this thread.

Re: The Les Paul Thread

Ah! The low-impedance Les Paul Recording model! You don't see many of those!

I've got no camera, but my Les Paul is a 1977 Standard, wine-red, with Grover keys and DiMarzio cream PAFs added. I liked Jeff Beck's "Blow By Blow" cover guitar and mine looks just like it except for pickups and keys! Very thin and narrow neck, it plays itself! I bought it new in February 1978 as a 20th-birthday present to myself, for $450!!! That was WITH the Protector ABS case! Of course I dropped another $100 immediately putting the Grovers and - at first - a pair of Super IIs in. The Super IIs were a variant on the Super Distortion, and I dug 'em for awhile, but eventually went to the PAFs because I couldn't get a decent clean tone with the Super IIs. So you could say it cost me $650 total, with 2 pickup changes and the keys changed! That ain't bad, eh?

My Les Paul Standard Plus with Duncan Custom and Jazz pickups. I traded this for my GMW straight up.

Re: The Les Paul Thread

I don't have pics of the one I used to have. I had an 96 studio, loved the sound it gave, but since I am a student, I have to make choices: wanted an better amp and since I had an Ibanez JPM and an Gibson that was collecting dust, it had to go. The Gibson had also the nasty habit of going out of tune, so the choice was easy then.

looking back now, I think I'd better had the tuners replaced and have kept it, but well, I will own another one again somewhere in the distant future.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] How's second grade treating you? I happen to prefer Baguars to Fireturds, but nothing can hold a candle to the mighty Les Poo and Scat-o-caster. I've never been a big fan of BC B*tch Whorelocks, but their Ass-Ass-in guitars are a lot cooler.

On the Jackson side, I prefer the Whorrior to the Choloist, but the Choads model is a bit small - a Double Choads would be nice, though [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Newc - That's classic shit. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Cool avatar, by the way. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

I'm also a big Les Paul fan, but unfortunately, I have to part with my only Paul... my Epi Standard. I just auctioned her off on eBay and I'll only have the weekend before she gets shipped off Monday or Tuesday. I hate to do that, but I need money (possibly for my next guitar-related purchase).

Here she is (or WAS rather):





I also got into Les Pauls because of Jimmy Page. He's one of my greatest heroes and I am NUTS over his tone. Pauls just have that THICK tone you can't beat. Someday I'll have another one!

Re: The Les Paul Thread

1981 LPC; I'd love to have a Std honeyburst. I've thought about a Jimmy Page sig. model, but they are just too much $$

Re: The Les Paul Thread

One day I will have a Les Paul. Hopefully I'll find a nice sunburst with the mini humbuckers in it. Can you tell I'm a big Pete Townshend fan?
