My Les Paul Forum

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.

I would like to present you my new Les Paul R8 from 2018. I called her the Defect Burst because of the strange wood grain on the top.

Purchased sight unseen an Aged True Historic from an authorized dealer. Upon delivery, I immediately noticed that there was significant buckle rash that did not look consistent with the rest of the aging of the guitar.
