Sorry, but mini-bucker's are just so unattractive, don't know why, but they are. They just don't seem to fit in with the look of a Les Paul to me.

Ohh, and btw Guitargal, thanks for the comment on my 92' Cherryburst with the Bigsby, much appreciated!

I have a goldtop R7.I think I remember paying 409 dollars and change,in 1972, when I bought my Cherry Sunburst version,of the same thing.I do like the bigger buckers,and suspect that if I got one,I would turn it into an R6.The Deluxe I got back then was my first Les Paul.

Nugget · 04-09-2007, 05:53 PM

How can anyone assess it's value before playing it? Some Gibsons sound terrible regardless of the pickups where some show potential even with crap pickups. I quite like a goldtop but the mini buckers would come out in favour of some P90's.

Inside Guy · 04-09-2007, 09:13 PM

This guitar is now sold out. They'll probably be all over Ebay in a few days.

lp junior freak · 04-10-2007, 12:24 PM

awsome guitar

mapleflame · 04-11-2007, 09:22 AM

That guitar needs to be routed for Buckers, No it just needs the 50 P90 treatment. Doesn't do anything for me.

Rock Johnson · 04-11-2007, 09:25 AM

I had a 1974 gold top with mini hums I wish i'd never sold.

MF, wouldn't someone be better off just buying a used R6 for $2200? Better constructed guitar for same money. I'm also someone that the mini-buckers never did anything for either. They always looks strange and out of place on a LP. If I was someone who wanted a Guitar to mod with a f/s bucker in the bridge and P-90 in the neck...well, she looks like a good canditate.

jakeddy · 04-26-2007, 06:22 PM

Years ago I heard a guy who played a LP with a mini in the neck and it had been routed out for a full size HB in the bridge. He used the neck for cleans and the bridge for overdrives. He had some killer tone.

ptate · 04-27-2007, 03:01 AM

Mine. She kicks ass. Sounds as filthy as a bitch in heat and gives some of the purest blues tones you could ever need.

Mini hums are the dog's bollox.......Those who don't like, go buy a Fender

Rock Johnson · 04-27-2007, 10:57 AM

I had a '74 deluxe, gold top with minihums that I sold for $900 a few years back to buy, of all things, a Wolfgang. Yes, I still kick myself for that one.

Minihums are a cool sound. They're not a standard LP, but they're not supposed to be.

Rikochet · 04-15-2009, 05:55 PM

Thats pretty sweet.

LPinmydreams · 04-15-2009, 05:57 PM

Dude, epic bump

Rikochet · 04-15-2009, 05:58 PM
