This time I got out all the Les Pauls. Probably one of these is my favourite guitar (today - this moment :lol: ).
Front
1954 Les Paul Standard - goldtop was refinished and neck slimmed a bit. I inherited it from a very good friend when he passed away earlier this year.
1971 Les Paul Custom 1955 limited edition - this has an Alnico neck pickup, P-90 bridge. Heavy though!
1960 Les Paul Special - refinished body. I bought this sight unseen advertised as a stripped Junior with added pickup (from a dealer!). It is the first SG model with a great wide flat neck. One pickup rewound by BK because it had a broken coil.
1959 Les Paul TV model - fake! Built by a friend from a Warmoth honduras mahogany body. I did the spraying - the grain is a little too red, but it looks like a respray over a cherry junior! Has the first BK Pig 90 - a crunch monster.
1971 Les Paul Standard 1954 Limited edition - this has a great neck - a little thicker than the 58's now. Wrap around bridge model.
Back
1958 Les Paul Standard - Fake. This was rebuilt by Will Scott Guitars (he actually fixed an unplayable clone). The body is chambered. Riff Raff/Stormy Monday pickups
1953 Les Paul Standard - converted to 59 specs. Weighs nothing! Great playing guitar - lots of Mojo - BK Black Dog set. Look for it on the cover of Atlantic Blues Guitar.
1986 Les Paul Standard - Dark Back limited edition. I always wanted a darkback goldtop. This has the new PG Blues set in it and they really make the guitar sing.
1959 Les Paul TV Model - refinished because of headstock break. A lot too yellow! Nice sounding original P-90.
As you can probably tell, I like P-90's. They just have such a great raunchy rock tone. Think Mountain, early Sabbath, Alex Harvey Band, the Who, Neil Young and so many more.
