Nice to see someone boldly displaying a whole collection as well, you might have more LPs than anyone.... apart from Phil King?

I have 7 with carved tops, but another 5 juniors & specials!  I always wanted a deluxe but never got one - I have a Firebird but still like the mini-HB's in a Les Paul.

I have lots of Juniors and Specials, but wasn't sure if I should count them as "proper" Les Pauls.  Also not sure if I should count my Epiphones, although they do legitimately have "Les Paul" on the headstock.  :lol:

Philly, I'm wondering if you have any part built LPs? Or is that mainly Fender styled stuff?
I think I hate being indecisive.

 :lol:  No, the parts mountain is really all Fender type stuff.  Teles and Strats.  I don't think set-neck guitars really lend themselves to home-builds, although there are some eBay sellers who occasionally have Gibson or PRS guitars stripped of all hardware.

That said, in my (much-diminished) Warmoth parts collection I do have an LP body and neck, although they're really just Fender-style parts in LP shapes - swamp ash body, maple/rosewood bolt-on neck.  The original idea was for a Fano-influenced Tele/LP Jr hybrid, but I wasn't happy with the way Warmoth routed the body so I'm thinking about something a bit more like a Tele Deluxe, but with different pickups.  Of course, it'll never happen....

I've got a handful of nice marshalls, a JMP 2204 which i absolutely love, a '69 super P.A., with two channels modded to superlead spec, which is an absolute monster of an amp! Also a Vintage Modern, which is a great and under rated amp,  and the two that made me think I'd never need to buy another amp; an AFD-100 and a YJM-100.  Yep, Les Pauls into Marshalls may be a cliche, but that's because it's so damn good :)

over the years, most of my money ended up in these marvellous guitars and amps, but now that there's a little baby in the house, i don't know if there's likely to be much in the way of additions.

Love the 1970 Custom and 2004 Standard! Maybe I do need a 2nd Les Paul after all :lol:

Good job you got your collection together before the baby came along. Babies are more expensive and a lot noisier.

It does have all those, yes.  For a brief moment when was first looking into it, I thought it might be a '69, but the volute in particular means it can't be.  the serial number puts it between '70 and '73.  The pickups covers aren't engraved, which mostly rules out '72/73.  I decided to go with '70 because, frankly, it sounds better than "early '70s"  :D

Nice to see someone boldly displaying a whole collection as well, you might have more LPs than anyone.... apart from Phil King?

I have 7 with carved tops, but another 5 juniors & specials!  I always wanted a deluxe but never got one - I have a Firebird but still like the mini-HB's in a Les Paul.

I have lots of Juniors and Specials, but wasn't sure if I should count them as "proper" Les Pauls.  Also not sure if I should count my Epiphones, although they do legitimately have "Les Paul" on the headstock.  :lol:

I'd count them, surely.  I suppose I should add a second picture with my Epiphones :)

The amps are very cool :)  at the minute, they're stored together in a bit of a tight space, but when i get a chance I'll do a bit of photographing

In that case I've got 10 "Les Pauls", 6 Gibsons and 4 Epiphones.  :oops:

2 Standards, 4 Juniors, 4 Specials.  I've also got an '80s Burny "Rock'n'Roll Version" doublecut Junior which is extremely close to the real thing, so I include it in the collection as a sort of first cousin....

Now show us your Epiphones!  :D
