There's no way to sneak PRS 10 tops in here, so here's what I play now other than those "replacements", and plain ol' Teles.

I actually sold my Les Pauls, it was either bear the heavy cross to carry their torches, or get a spinal tap. Too bad, 2 were chambered, one was a Guild Bluesbird, recommended if you find one. There's another clone at home, 1970's or 80's Condor, not much of a guitar on it's own, but it's still new and it has a massive electronic module, switches and lights, with effects.

Here's my baby now decked out for winter holidays! Umm you really shouldn't call a black axe with Zakk Wylde's EMGs, baby?



Now I can never be simple or serious. So what does that leave? Complex and devious? Here's my poster showing what I think Les Pauls are for, why I like these guitars, how I see them in their purest or most popular form, and why we play them!!! :shock:



Now I have to go in a sequence, presenting same colour, or same couch? It's my 1984 MIJ Tokai Love Rock, "1958 Burst".



She's a classic in her own right, or vintage going on 27 years. As you may know, they were good builds. I love rock, or her?



She's not scared a nuthin'. Plug 'n play, rock 'n roll, just come out of her case to show her true colors, close up, long tenon.



Oh no, bashful now? Look out below! She sees a $350,000 real 1959 coming, NOT MINE, but I stole a pic? Faded, however.





Now sheriously, I actually play dish won aww the time. My 2008 hag. Hagstrom Super Swede, long scale, and coil splitting.





'Tis the season, for tinsel, to sparkle and shine. Les Pauls can be double cut? My '62 RI Gretsch Silver Jet, not champagne.

Sparkle, sparkle little twink,
Who the heck you are I think,
I'm not under the alcolfluence of inkelhol,
As some thinkle peep I am,
But I fool so feelish,
Wondering be I who,
Yearly Happy News to you!



Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the Les Paul was also a fine invention, but the Les Paul does not go nearly as well with pizza or wings.

Still, it only takes one Les Paul to get you drunk. I can't remember if it's the tenth or the eleventh. Good thread!

While Les Paul supposedly didn't like it all that much, he admitted requesting his name/endorsement be removed due to some financial finagling he was doing during his divorce from Mary Ford. Kind of a shrewd guy that way.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361980 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361972 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 11:56:31 +0000 Opinions and Polls TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361972 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361947 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 00:21:16 +0000 ]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361947 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/show-us-your-les-pauls/#post-361918 Sun, 19 Dec 2010 15:25:18 +0000
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htuxb-m4-ng - great riff, great solo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4 - man, what a beautiful tone! Great intro, great solo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v7LzOeTkfM - Akkerman makes that LP SING!

:D :D :D

Vic They do sound nice don't they? :wink: When I think Les Paul sound, one of the first things that comes to mind is this. The video quality is poor but if you want to hear a pair of Les Pauls kicking A and taking names .....

I've only ever had one LP, but it was a nice one....an Epi LP Special. Bought it in 2005, got it cheap off one of the guys I used to jam with - even took it to Texas with me!



but then I bought a Telecaster and all my other guitars just sort of got neglected and/or sold.....

:D :D :D
