Here is a Tobbaco sunburst one.
Slash Signature model from Gibson Custom Shop.
It has the special slash wiring with the added 3 way switch adding numerous sounds and tones.

The mini switch on the Slash model is for the Piezo bridge to get acoustic sounds. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
I just noticed that the middle pickup is installed backwards. When I get it I am taking all the pickups out and potting them anyway. There is also a push/pull pot installed to activate the middle pickup. I will replace that with a stock volume pot and wiring her up like a Frampton signature model. I believe the Frampton is wired exactly like a standard Les Paul where the pickup selector activates Bridge, Both, Neck. The difference is that one of the tone pots is a 3rd volume that is dedicated to the middle pickup only so that it can be blended with either pickup or both. I don't have any long shaft Les Paul style volume pots so I guess I will be searching for one although I could probably use the push/pull pot for it.

mhalsey... that's a reissue 57 LPC.
WAY TOO COOL! [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]
I love it.. so much!
So you are thinking of getting one as well.
Let's see what we will end up getting in near future.
Here is a 1968 LPC. [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

djm,
Yeah, I'm definitely gettin' one someday. I'm really diggin' that '68 reissue as well. Is that nickel hardware on it?
Seems that something is in the air that's makin' everyone crave LPs. Of course, I need to blame LPC for my craving. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] He sent me pics of his LPC with EMGs and that just got the ball rollin. Not to mention, I just bought my son the Epi Zakk Wylde LPC. Not too bad of a geetar. The EMG HZs are pretty good. But of course, you know I'm gonna swap 'em for the ZW EMGs soon. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
My future band shall be known as "One Samich Short Of A Picnic"!
OK! more pix and now I am a happy panda!
First, MountainDog,how do they play?
I didn't know there was a Gibson Les paul(special?) with Floyd.
Afterforever, the PRS looks great! I love the color.
I had a Singlecut just for 1 day that didn't do for me.
Maybe the one I bought wasn't the one for me.
JG(capable) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] , great deal.
I am sure it will be a great guitar and you should adjust it the way you want it.
Maybe replace all the pots with push/pull like Jimmy Page model.
Boxcar, is that a Les Paul Studio?
What color is that?
A friend of mine bought one new back in 91 or 92.
It had ebony fingerboard that played great!
Why all the later ones have rosewood fingerboard?
Chuck, I didn't know you had that many Pauls..
That Natural top one looks great!
I had one when I was 18.
It was from 79 or 80 and I bought it at vintage guitar shop in L.A. for $550... these days are gone. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
It was all original with OHSC.
I also bought my Les Paul Pro(p-90s and ebony fingerboard) for about the same price too.
mhalsey,these LPCs are great.
I had a Historic 68 in Black it played killer and had a fat neck(to me).
Yes I do believe these have nickel hardwares.
I think I will be looking for one in Black.
If not, maybe a Gold Top Les Paul Classic [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sounds like what I did. The way I wired my 3 PU LPC was to have the 3-way work just like a normal LP and have 3 volumes and a master tone control. The volume for the middle pickup was a push-pull to turn it on. You get all seven combinations this way if you want. The guy that bought it from me swapped the middle pickup for a SD Phat Cat (P-90 in bucker case). I have Phat Cat's in my PRS and they kick ass.
I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.
Speaking of Les Paul pictures, does anybody have that link to the Les Paul Custom Shop Generator thing? I do remember it was a Gibson-related website but I don't remember it being on Gibson.com. I'd like to play around on that a little bit. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I want a Les Paul that has dome knobs, Floyd, jumbo frets, and 2 APC Persuader Lead pickups. It probably doesn't exist though. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I could probably live without the Floyd, but I'd get it refretted to jumbos, change the control knobs, and replace the pickups with APCs.
