Post by: Ian Price on August 18, 2010, 10:19:09 PM: Absolutely no. Works with tele's, not LPs.

Post by: gwEm on August 18, 2010, 10:47:58 PM: don't like either too much :(

i'm not a fan of conventional les pauls, but there are some i like massively.

edit: i think if i was going for a normal (twin bucker) les paul it would have to be a tobacco burst

Post by: Matt77 on August 18, 2010, 11:16:50 PM: They are both so wrong they are almost right.
I'd probably like the 1st one if it looked beaten up

Post by: Andrew W on August 19, 2010, 12:00:52 AM: The gold top is completely made of win. Not so sure about the baby blue though.
Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: Philly Q on August 19, 2010, 12:19:57 AM: Yay.... ish. I'm all for LPs in non-standard colours, but I think I'd like it better if it was just a little bluer.

The gold top is very cool in principle, but looks a bit too bare without a neck pickup. And I don't like the positions of the knobs.

Where did you find these?

Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: Ratrod on August 19, 2010, 10:43:46 AM: Indeed if it was a little bit bluer, had a bigsby and some P90's.

Yeah, good idea, that could work. Or maybe even centre racing stripes like that Tom DeLonge 333.

Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: Mr. Air on August 19, 2010, 01:47:34 PM: Actually I don't find the baby blue LP that bad. I agree with Matt77. It would look a lot better beaten up.

The goldtop seems too "bare" for me without neck pickup or a scratch plate.

Post by: 38thBeatle on August 19, 2010, 07:20:22 PM: Not my choice but not as bad as I thought it would be.
Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: gordiji on August 19, 2010, 07:48:26 PM: you have to be on the fence 38th, it's nearly the same colour as your strat :lol:
i say yeh, it does look a bit washed out on the white background but slung round your neck in a pub(i'm not very ambitious) it'd look great, especially with a few coloured lights.

Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: d1dsj on August 19, 2010, 08:00:48 PM: Nay to the baby blue.

Nay to the Gold Top as it is BUT Yay if it were just a neck pick up.

Yay to the SG.
Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: hunter on August 21, 2010, 06:42:57 PM: Hooo that SG looks nice!

I think the Gold top would look better with a MiniHum in Chrome or a P90 in black.
Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: _tom_ on August 21, 2010, 07:23:16 PM: Love that blue SG. The Goldtop is awesome as well, I still want one! Although if I do get another Les Paul I think it'll be in doublecut form - I've got so used to the SG's awesome upper fret access that I can't solo properly above say the 17th fret on a Les Paul any more :\

Didn't one of the old guitarists in Alice Coopers band used to play one of them? I'm sure I saw a silver SG and a white custom in the band in a video of School's out.

Edit: I knew I'd seen one sort of like that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ0Lm1vdNjs#t=1m02s

Yeah, it's a good job they're reassuringly expensive.... and in the USA so we'd have to pay loads of VAT and import duty.

Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: Telerocker on August 25, 2010, 02:36:26 PM: The blue Les Paul is somewhat feminine. Great guitar for Sheryl Crow. I'm more in to Goldtops with P90's or black, wite striping and P90's. I hate gold hardware. Too posh for me.
Title: Re: Baby Blue Les Paul - yay or nay?
Post by: Elliot on August 26, 2010, 08:55:08 AM: I like the colour: I wish I had a Jaguar in that colour - but it looks wrong on a Les Paul.
