I swapped out the middle pickup for a Duncan Jazz neck, and put a cover I took off an 85 Flying V bridge pickup.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My 3PU LPC has a Jazz in the middle too - that's a great sound. It's rounded it out with a Jazz in the neck and JB in the bridge - I love the sound of my Les Paul.

My Epiphone LP Standard, a limited edition with quilted top. I swapped out the stock pickups for EMGs. I would love to get a Gibson LP custom one day, but first I'm after a new amp and another acoustic guitar...and they won't be cheap either. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Anyway. Honduran mohagony, Rock maple, and AFrican Ebony are plentiful. and still being used today on such things as a Les Paul Custom and Les Paul Supremes. over 2500 hundo for a 72 Custom? thats been touched up refretted and potted?
Thats not original folks. Makes me wonder what i could get for mine. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: The Les Paul Thread

Hey McDog, that is a really nice looking Epi. Looks especially good with the EMGs.

Re: The Les Paul Thread

It's great for the people who have them, beat the hell out of something for 20 or 30 years and sell it for the price of a brand new one.... Lather Rinse Repeat. If I could only do that with my truck, my house, my girlfriend, and my TV set.

Re: The Les Paul Thread

I got lucky and walked into a small local music store and scored this 2002 '58 Reissue for $2400 brand new!

Re: The Les Paul Thread

Wow Ralph that is nice flame for an R8 most of the R8's are pretty plain and the R9's usually have flame. Excellent score

Re: The Les Paul Thread

I'm kinda in the minority when it comes to the flametop reissues. I prefer a more realistic flame rather than the "PRS style" flame that alot of the 59's have. If you look through Beauty Of The Burst , there are not that many LP's with insane tops.

Re: The Les Paul Thread

Isn't that called as Darkburst or Iceteaburst?
I've always wanted to get one like that.
In the Les Paul book, there is a 59LP owned by Joe Perry and current owner by Slash.
NICE!

Looks like a Burnt Cherry Sunburst.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Agreed I like the light flaming myself actually. That has the exact amount of flame I like in my Les Paul but most R8's seem to have 0 flame
