Three Les Pauls all in a row

[NRBQ]

The sun is out today so I thought it might be nice to get some pictures of all three of my LP's together.

1, 2012 Gibson Limited Run Deluxe Goldtop
2, 2010 Gibson Traditional Plus in Desert Burst
3, 2001 Epiphone Special Edition Deluxe in Sparkle Red

They're some beautiful guitars!!!

Ok, I'll play as well! Three of my 4 Les Pauls (my Classic is missing here):

 

[Farquad]

Cool pics. I like the one where they are all laying in the field of small plants (no idea what type of plants)

 

[Royal Crimson]

So cute, frolicking on the field like puppies.

Very nice assortment of Goldtop, Burst, and Wine Red.

Bases well covered there, mate.

 

[battra]

Very nice snaps!!

Actually those are only weeds with little flowers.

 

[Dilemma]

Nice guitars, but why are we taking pictures of our guitars in the dirt?

Nice guitars, but why are we taking pictures of our guitars in the dirt?

It's supposed to be the contrast between the beauty of the Paul within a rugged setting. I was digging in the dirt for art.

Looks good just like shooting hot looking models.

This has nothing to do with anything but after I found Digging in the Dirt I clicked on Shock The Monkey and thought, man it's been a long time since I've heard this one, what a great song, so here it is just for the heck of it. Shock The Monkey Tonight!

Beautiful guitars, OP. Now for the love of all that is holy never, ever use an apostrophe to make a plural ever again!

Beautiful guitars, OP. Now for the love of all that is holy never, ever use an apostrophe to make a plural ever again!

Is that wrong? So it should be Les Pauls or LPs rather than Les Paul's or LP's?

 

[NRBQ]

I thought I'd do a little refresher course and review apostrophes, never hurts to bone up on needed information. I corrected the title of the OP and eliminated that thang what was wrong.



Apostrophes – how to use them

free pages from our English Language software program
Apostrophes – definition

Apostrophes are shown by a raised comma — like this ( ‘ ).

Apostrophes are used to show possession and to punctuate contractions.
Examples

Possession- My mother’s house – The girl’s bicycle
The house belongs to my mother – The bicycle belongs to the girl
Contractions- There’s nobody here – Where’s Freddy?
There is nobody here – Where is Freddy?
​

Use

We can write The tail of the dog or The dog’s tail. This is possession – when something belongs to someone or something.

We can also write It is a lovely day or It’s a lovely day. This is contraction – when two words are merged. The apostrophe is used to denote the missing letter.

NB! Many people have problems with the apostrophe. [You're not alone.] Read on!
Possession

When the possessor is single we indicate possession by using an apostrophe followed by the letter s:

The man’s coat
my sister’s hat
​

When the possessors are plural, the apostrophe is placed after the final s:

The girls’ bicycles
my cousins’ parents
​

When names end with the letter ‘s’, either use is acceptable:

James’ wife or
James’s wife
​

[It is often said that the choice between the two should be made on how the word is pronounced.]

The apostrophe is never used with possessive pronouns:

his – hers – its – ours – yours – theirs
​

But it is used with one: One must do one’s best.

Note that the apostrophe is not required where a word has been formed by omitting its first part:

bus – not – ‘bus [from omnibus]
phone – not – ‘phone [from telephone]
​

No apostrophe is required in the plural form of numbers and dates:

in the 1920s
the roaring twenties
​

Contractions

In formal writing we would write She has always loved him, but when speaking we would probably say She’s always loved him. The apostrophe is used to indicate the missing letters (or sounds).

I’m (I am) He’s (He is) You’re (You are)
​

Notice the difference between it’s (it is) and its (belonging to it).

NB! There is no such thing as its’

The use of contractions tends to make writing less formal.

It is just possible that the apostrophe will be the next linguistic feature to disappear from common use.

It causes lots of problems, and in most cases the context would make the meaning clear even if it were missing.

It is in fact a relic from the days when English was an inflected language. This may be a reason for the problems, and it would form some justification for its disappearance.

Quite the menage trois you guys have there!

Here's mine at the moment (old pic):

Recently purchased an R9, so I'll have to take a new one.

I was waiting for you Midnight!

This is the picture I initially had in mind while having read the thread for the first time! You've got my favorite Les Paul(s)!!!


A new R9 is coming in??? Can't wait to see that one!!!
