My favourite Les Paul tone over them all is Page's. Epecially when you hear live Led Zep stuff aka that box set with the desert pic on the front : ) that live DVD gives me goosepimples evertime I watch it FISHY! COME HERE, LOOK......HOBBITSIS ARE TTTTTRRRAAAAATOOOOOOR! (no seriously)

My fave LP sounds have to be off the GnR stuff. :P Superb! :D

How about this for a Les Paul? Burled maple top. This is by some guy on the Les Paul Forum, it was the first guitar he ever built by the way. Pretty damn good job if you ask me!

meh, i'm not a huge fan of sunburst finishes

looks more like spalted maple? burled is all mad figuring all over the place, like birdseye+flamed+loony tree builder with a crayon!

nope, other way round, burl is the 'quiet'-er of the two

head on over to nathansheppardguitars.com and look in materials, woods, you'll find a picture of burled maple. then go to the gallery and look at the nsg1, that is burled maple, which is kinda like i described above!

(sits back, looks smug...)

i've seen it

see below, spalted maple from my next guitar, much more 'crazy' than the burl maple

*sits back*

yep, nice. i didn't say spalted wasn't funky, but i wouldn't call burled the quieter one! anyway, i still say that les paul is spalted.

i think flamed, quilted, birdseye and burl all happen in live trees, while spalted is a diseased tree, that's then preserved. i think i read that on either dean or washburn's site.

and no, i don't mean your guitar's diseased! that looks cool, i hope it gets built.

i think the Les Paul just has less variations than most spalted / burl maple

Looks more like spalted maple to me, too. Just in case we're taking a vote.

That looks really nice, I prefer LP's with a nice grain rather than quilted/flamed wood.

I know its weird, but have you ever bought a guitar that made you say "this is great, the stock pickups sound fantastic!"

Yeah, my '59 LP sounds great with the PAF's. :roll:
