Looking for a Les Paul on a budget.

Neil-Nitro · 2014-04-23T12:56:41+00:00

Hey guys. So I'm looking for a Les Paul equipped with humbuckers mainly because I've recently become a huge fan of Joe Bonamassa and his sound. My current Les Paul is equipped with P90's thus I am looking for another. Here's what I am looking at: Cort CR250 Cort CR280 Tanglewood TSB 59 Any other recommendations? Epiphone is not on my list because my experiences with them have not been too good... I'm not looking for a goldtop necessarily as Bonamassa is famous for playing, but I'm more interested in the sound and have been considering these two brands I've mentioned above. Any help and advice is appreciated!

Looks pretty legit to me.

The Japanese Tokai's have their serial numbers impressed onto the guitars where the chinese are printed. The chinese ones usually start with a CN or something. Also the Japanese I think are 7 digits all numbers whereas Chinese are letters also.

Check with Lance but I would say this is legit and A DAMN NICE GUITAR!!

Im a bit lost when it comes to electrics and their construction and components etc

The LS models are the Les Paul Standard style guitars with maple caps. The LC models are the Les Paul Custom style guitars with mahogany caps and different inlays.

Hey guys.

I thank each and every one of you for your input and advice.
I am busy speaking with Lance so it seems I'll be a Tokai owner soon. ?

Hi guys... So I am really considering the guitar I put up on this thread for sale... Apparently it has a Tom Anderson mh3+ pickup in the bridge that the owner will replace with the original paf pup.. Unless I pay for both... Is there someone here who could come with me to see this guitar who knows about it.? I'm dead keen to view ASAP

I suggest you move pretty quickly. If I had the cash, I would have snapped it up in no time

Very lucky indeed. There are precious few solid flame-top LS160s out there. Most, like mine, are plain. That's a heckuva price for a flame-top LP with a one piece solid back.

Thanks guys!

There are some pics here ?
