Wish-list Les Paul

[cbryan]

So, I spend all day gassing at les Pauls... But there's one or two I keep coming back to. So I thought I would share what my most aspirational Les Paul is. And I'm doing this in the hope you'll share yours....

Here's my dream lp, a 58 reissue just like this one:

 

[GibsonMarshallGuy]

What's up with the pick guard on those? Is it a sticker or something?

 

[cbryan]

Yeah, think it's a sticker they come with.photo is from a retailer website.

 

[cousingrandpa]

I have mine, a cherry R9 & a tobacco R8
Save for that R8, you won't regret it.

The R8 now has a Bigsby

 

[cbryan]

Cousingrandpa, that's a nice duo you've got there. I'm hopin the funds will be there one day. I love that tobacco burst so much. I used to not be a fan of the dark bursts, but they grow on you slowly...

 

[River]

My own design, based on what I've learned works best for me.

Guess it probably won't be a Gibson, but wth?

 

[Kalamazuu]

What scale would you go with Riv?


And OP, as always, a Custom.

They are great guitars & both of mine have huge monster necks, the fatter the better. I have gigged them both a lot since I got them & they keep getting better sounding & playing.

 

[River]

What scale would you go with Riv?

Tele, probably. Bit more room for my clumsy fingies up high, and might as well break another 'rule' while I'm at it, right?

Hey, why not!

I would like Gibson to release a LP Norlin reissue Silverburst with Stainless frets, Shaw Pickups and Chainsaw case.

Dream Axe - Realistic

I've posted this before, but as you are forcing me, I will do it again. This is/was actually my dream LP. It's an oddball color, Gunmetal Grey, with cherry back. I was just about to have one custom made and this one showed up. It' a tad heavier than desired, but it is very balanced which makes it doable. It's my main gig axe for my cover band. I'm currently running it through a JVM and 4/12 and love it. Since the pic, I have dressed it in all black plastic and chrome input jack. I know it's not historically accurate, but it's mine, exactly what I want, sounds good and the neck is right.

Dream Axe - Fantasy World

57 GT

 

[djjagdish]

My dream LP would be an R0 with a flamed top in bourbon burst

 

[what-a-cool-username]

Darkburst G0 exactly like this one. Funds are about a quarter of the way currently, I'll get there someday, dammit.

If you're looking for a builder, you should talk to member Michael Jordan of Rosser Guitars. Great guy, great work.

vintage gold top

 

[redcoats1976]

73 custom...black,of course.

 

[coldengray]

Lately mine has been one of these 2013 R4s....the new gold is soooooo purty.

 

[broke_player]

My wish list? My two favorite finish colors are Gold Top and a plain top Tobacco (like the one up in post #4). I would like to have two of each, with humbuckers and P90's. I already have a GT with hums. So I just need to get three more.
