Ran across this. Could be interesting for an experiment. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not the same as a real Les Paul, but interesting none the less [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] . Les Paul Body

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
Yeah, that's true, but I don't know that a Floyded Paul is $1300 worth of cool [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] . The whole concept just seems wrong [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ?Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
My friend paul had some bridge that looked like a cross between a kahler and a floyd and just mounted on the posts of the bridge.Comment

Chuckracer warned me of the Les Trem vibrato unit when I inquired about it. But feel free to try it out for yourself too! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
that lp custom lite looks pretty neat. even if its Barney-fied and everything. and those custom lite's are pretty nice. i hear they're kinda far and few between if you're into 'em/ but that looks like a neat guitar. weird control layout, i fgured even the custom lites had the 2 vol 2 tones.

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
I have a moded '81 LPC with a later added kalher and you know what, it kicks ass. Great tone, action and playability. I got it off E-scam a few years ago and after a fret job (which I knew it needed when I bought it, it is that sh!t).
I had always wanted a Paul and with the trem, I could not say no.
Just thought I would share."I''ll say what I'm gonna say, cuz I'm going to Hell anyway!"Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
It just doesn't seem right for a Les Paul to have a trem, and it does look a little bit different, although if given a choice, I would choose a Floyded Les Paul over a regular one. Got a pic of your guitar, RR005xx? [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
i've installed lots of floyds on customer's les paul guitars. i'm going to do it for myself when i find the right paul to put a hole in. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
is it pretty easy '59? doin' the floyd thing?
the reason i ask is, i read an article in Gibson, and Neil says that Custom Shop had to get some special neck alignment on his Black Beauty's so he can drop the Floyd in.Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
when i reset the neck it is super pricy, it'll run about $600.usd in my shop(labor only)...............i usually build a spacer and install the floyd on lesters, works fine and cuts the cost in half.........................not the kinda job for the backyard tweaker.

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
There is a L.P.standard in a store close to me that has a trem called a Bowen Handle.Basically it fits in the studs of the stop tail piece.The trem spring works via a large spring like a bigsby.Cool thing is you can remove it and install a stop tail piece and your back to a regular L.P.Really? well screw Mark Twain.Comment

Re: Ever want that Les Paul w/ a Floyd?
Yeah, that's the POS NOTP was talking about. Same unit, different name. The handle rocks the string ends forward and the strings are supposed to slide across the tune-o-matic. At full tension.
That ***** ain't coming back in any sembelence of tune! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]Comment
