My Les Paul Forum

Because they have issues. Not bad issues, but enough to keep them out of bands and off of stages.

So I installed some Grovers on my ol’ beater of a Les Paul and I have to say the tonal improvement with regard to response, sustain and note to note balance across the fretboard is not subtle.

I see a lot of YouTube videos where they compare a vintage Les Paul to a newer one with boutique pickups. But not the other way around.

They've removed all the videos from their Youtube channel and many people are whispering Mark Agnesi has been let go.

I've been considering a 60th anniversary burst and saw this one on reverb... noticed the uneven burst job.

With a declining market share I've been saying for a long time build Gibsons at the China factory they own and leave a custom shop in Nashville.

I came across this guitar in his closet wrapped in a blanket. Come to find out it's an original Les Paul 1960 Burst!

In this video Simon Karlsson and I compare a 2008 Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue R9 to three original Bursts from 1958, 1959 and 1960.
