My New Les Paul!

Recommended Posts

Hey, here's a pic of my new Les Paul I got today! It's awesome, I can hardly put the thing down.

Yeah, the picture sucks, the webcam is all I got, sorry. It's the Sunburst color and it's awesome!

Yea! That's pretty nice! So how about some stats? American? Good price? What kinda amp & music you jam to?



Yeah, yeah. How dare I do that to you? Ok here goes:

Mahogany/Alder Body with Flame Maple top Vintage Sunburst color
Rosewood fingerboard on mahogany set neck (body and neck binding)
Pearl trapezoid inlays
Chrome machine heads
2 Gibson Humbucker pickups
22 fret, 24.75 in scale
nut width-1.68
Nice low and smooth action (not sure what manufacturer specs are, but I like it right where it's at)
.10 gibson strings (I'll play around with these and find what I really like, but the stock strings are not baaaad!)
3 place treble/rhythmn switch
Volume/tone control (obviously)

This going to the Marshall MG30 DFX (30 watt) amp through a Digitech RP300 multi-effects processor.

I've just started playing around with it and really haven't pushed it through all the effects yet, just playing it mostly clean, but I'm sure it'll be awesome no matter what I do to it.

I have been workin on a few Zep tunes and some old country!



I did run through Led Zep's Black Dog when I first got her home. And I'm always looking to jam.

Anyway, there you have it.:)

Cool! So you like the set up and it sounds great.......very nice! Too bad we cannot jam-I see your in Idaho! My girl spent the summer in MosCOW lat summer doing research at the UofI! I have rafted the Grand Rond(sp), Snake and hopefully the middle fork of the Salmon next summer. Last year I also stopped in Mcall to hang out and tour the Smoke Jumpers base.......those guys are hardcore! They had pics hangin on the wall of guys getting out of the plane with all the trees on fire!:P

For sure, musical instruments are only comfortable where you are comfortable, but repair people like me see lots of work from Attic/garage/basement storage.

Hey Les Paul and Mary Ford used to burn up one of our local hotels regularly when they were working on 'sound on sound' recording! Little piece of trivia.

Try some 9's on that puppy, all you will have to do is breathe on it, and it will play for you.

Nice, Is that a single coil pickup and a humbucker? I'm not sure that option is available or has been for quite some time from Gibson. I wasn't even real familiar with that model and from 76...very cool.

When I was in the 5th grade - there was a friend of mine that had a brother that had a "problem" and could have gotten a red and white Gibson/Les Paul - one that was 2 years old and had been played for maybe 3 hours total with a Gorilla amp for $50.00 bucks.

I should have but Mom wouldn't lend me the cash.>:(
