    Old Les Paul Day !!

    Ok, so I buy a heavily modified 1978 Les Paul "55". Gibson tells me it's modeled after the 1955 flat top. Here's the scoop: Bad backyard paintjob, tuners swapped for Grovers, Badass tailpiece swapped for a Gibson fine tuning tailpiece, bridge P-90 swapped for Dimarzio X2N w/coil tap switch.

    After cleaning it up and putting on new strings, it hasn't gone out of tune for a week and I can't put it down once I pick it up !! This is one of the best Les Paul's I've ever played.

    Now I'm thinking of having it stripped and repainted but I don't have the fundage right now. All in all, I am VERY pleased with it. Behold !!!

      I have a Fender HM Strat (I'm sure you are familiar with those) in that damn pink. I'm afraid to paint it because it might change the tone.

        That TP-6 (fine tuning) tailpiece is a godsend. Gibbys just never seemed to stay in tune (moreso LPs than SGs), IMHO.

          Looks cool. A simple stripped and oiled finish would be a dramatic improvement over that clown red.

            Not sure-with a buff job and a clear coat-it might be just the trick onstage.
