Hey guys. I'm getting myself a Les Paul in the near future (possibly an old Greco or a Gibson) so I'd love to see pictures of the one you all have.

I played an old 70's Les Paul Custom today in Denmark Street and it was amazing. I've never felt another guitar like it, it's how Les Pauls should be.

So go ahead, post yours

Hi!

I´m new to this forum. Just ordered a new set of Nailbombs today, for this beaty:



It´s a 2006 Gibson LP, vintage sunburst.

The Pearl needs a fret dress I think and a proper setup so hopefully over summer I'll take it to Wez or Feline for that. Got a RY bridge and I've just got a MQ neck for it so that should be on its way soon. If I like the MQ neck enough I'll probably replace the RY with a bridge model.. Epiphone has Mules and its still my favourite guitar.

what's the Pearl like compared to the Epiphone Tom? I've never come across one before.

Sounds duller/less clear when played acoustically and has a much thicker/rounder neck than the Epiphone.. plugged in its pretty good, but I had to disconnect the tone pot on the rebel yell because it was a bit muddy.

here's my 1990 LP std with Mules, had this guitar since my 19th birthday.  it's not an easy or smooth guitar to play, it's a rough ride and a bit of a fight, but it sounds so raw and I love it.

you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly

Thanks, ilyti  :) .  I don't have any daylight pics of it, but I could try to do some at the weekend maybe.  It's very hard to get the purple colour to come out the way it really looks.
