Let's See Your Favorite Les Paul in 2022!

[GoldTopAxeMan]

Always and forever my #1 - Not just for 2022. I'll never gig with it though....
An original 1970 Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop. All original except for the tuners. P/u's ohm out at around 5.5 or so, but it still rocks. Superb player and top is in incredible condition. Some buckle and strap rash on the back, but what do you expect for an axe that's almost as old as I am....

Heavily modded '94 Standard.

Recently put M69 rings, gold top hats and a proper amber switch tip on my 2020 Standard 60s and I am loving it.

That's where they are all going! Cannot find genuine amber switch tips or gold top hats for sale in the UK for love nor money at the minute

90% sure Gibson stopped making them. Got mine from Philadelphia Luthier Supply who manufactures them. While they aren't the best rings out there (if you want those checkout Montreux) they are right for the price. Their amber switch tips are great though.

Lots of nice ones here!

My 2007 Yamano R9. I’ve had a bunch before and after, and nothing has come close in tone for me. 9.2 lb canon! Sports Throbak pups.

1970 routed Les Paul Deluxe. That 50 year old wood is very dry. Heavy, but resonant. Great for southern rock and country. Original harness with Sprague caps. Whole Lotta Humbuckers. Aggressive sounding. Makes a Marshall sound like it should.

My new 2022 Honeyburst Classic is sure hard to put down

Hey now! That's unique, never saw one with tortoise before. I like it, that's sweet!

Right now, the R6 Goldtop in the middle. Have another R6 GT on the way from Freddy G which may equal or supplant the middle one.

The black '78 Pro Deluxe and the red '81 Deluxe are very close runners up.

When you're shopping for a Les Paul, is one of your criteria that the fretboard has to be dark? Because I see you have 3 very dark fretboards there, and they aren't exactly common, even on Historics.

My brand new LP Classic Cherry Sunburst 2022. I also own and play a 2007 Studio - trans red with gold parts - and a 2002 cherry ES-335.

 

[Michael Bacigalupi]

60th anniversary 1960 v2 Les Paul. Favorite Les Paul of all that I have owned!

 

[Midnight Blues]

They're all my favorites, but I'm particularly fond of this one, which was my first and I've had for fifty years some time next year:

However, I love these three very much too:

I've mostly been playing this one lately:

2021 Iced Tea R9 w/ Cream T Scan 3 humbuckers in double white/cream. (Scan 3s are the same wind as their Billy Gibbons “Whisker Buckers”, just w/o all the BFG packaging and paraphernalia.)

As much as I love my R9 (above)… I have a new favorite LP for 2022. It’s my 2022 BB7. I’ve had it about 2 1/2 months and I’m through the honeymoon period and can say this is now my unequivocal new fav. It’s an absolute beast! And bone stock (which is an anomaly for me). It’s so good as is that I cannot bring myself (an inveterate guitar tinkerer) to change anything. This is “the one” I’ve been looking for my whole guitar life.

Absolutely love this girl!

 

[68 Greenback]

Only have 2 guitars and the 2019 Special in TV Yellow gets played 90% of the time.

 

[zombywoof]

makes sense since one of them is strung wrong handed

 

[TomTama]

This is my 2016 Memphis ES Les Paul.

 

[Bluerocker]

I had my 1980 Les Paul Deluxe refinished in "Duracell Coppertop" in 2022
