The Les Pauls of GFSA (rule modification)

singemonkey · 2011-03-16T13:05:47+00:00

We can't let the Strat maniacs have all the fun. Let's see all the Les Pauls. All the ones you've posted before, and the ones you haven't. We're talking all of the single cutaway, mahogany backed guitars with a Gibson Les Paul scale-length. We want to see the Epiphones, the Tokais, the Tanglewoods, the Corts, the Gibsons, the Ibanez. And then say just a little bit about 'em. rule mod: Only post pictures of your specific guitar. No product shots. Even if it's a grim and grainy cell-phone pic, at least we know it's the very same guitar you plunk away on (you need not delete existing product shots, just make sure to post a pic of the actual guitar sometime ? ) Here are mine which you've all seen before: 2009 Tokai LS150 Had this one since the last year. Absolute beauty. My main gigging guitar. Pure quality. Super-comfortable chunky neck. 1983 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe One of the infamous Norlin-era Gibsons. Heavy as about four of Reinhard's LP, and about 12 of Nick's ? but I love it anyway. Did a lot of modding before I was happy with it (mini-hums to P90s, roto-grip tuners, Bigsby B7, bell knobs, etc.). Strung with .11s now. Bit of a slim neck. Crazy low "fretless-wonder" type frets. Just needs a grounding issue sorted out before it's ready to gig. Had this since '95 and it's the possession I run back into the burning house for. Over to you guys.

I messed around on a Tom Murphy aged 59 Custom Shop the other day, phenomenal guitar...Tom Murphy's work is incredible.
For me nothing beats an 'aged' Gold Top.

Apparently they only made a few more than a 114 of them...started at 114 then they added a few?

I'd imagine yours look like this?...it gives me goosebumps. ?

Sorry about the pic quality, but I thought it time I get in on this:

I am a very new member of the LP club (not by choice, mind you). Here is my Tanglewood TSB-58 Gold Top. The logo is my Band "Red Talon"'s logo and I appologise for the red sharky in the pick holder, it migrated from another guitar that had some old picks in it.

Once you go black, you can't go back ? As Aubs's avatar will attest.

Singe, here you go (once again, sorry for the phone camera - they're mostly prettier in real life).

Gibson Studio (I can never remember whether it's 04 or 05):

Epi Zakk Wylde with SD 59 in the neck and JB in the bridge:

Gibson Classic with SD 59 in the neck and Pearly Gates in the bridge:

Gibson Prehistoric ('91) R6 (this suffers the most from light/camera quality):

Gibson ('06) R9 (the knobs aren't stock, in case anyone's wondering)

Norman86

Very nice R9 :-[
