• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Hello Mat...are we going to see an ebony Les Paul Deluxe added for 2024? I couldn't afford one back in the 80's...now I have some coin that's burning a hole in my pocket...
I'm curious if anyone can tell me what two new Humbuckers and new Les Paul guts I bought in 1972 might be worth ? They have been in a drawer since I brought them. Just wondering what they might be worth now. One brother out there has given me some info, I appreciate it, but I was thinking I'd get a little more from the experts. Anyone who has a idea, and can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks you guys
Hello! Is your LP still available? I'm curious where the guitar is located as well. Thanks!
Hi Rob , still have your Melody Maker ? I have a 1960 - SC Thinking about trying a Novak - I'm also in the UK. I do quite like this original 'slim' one though ;-) Regards Paul
Hi Pete, I have a set of 1960 double blacks with unopened covers, and a full harness that I will be taking out of my 1960 ES-175. I also have an ABR bridge (with nylon saddles), and knobs. Would that be of interest to you? Regards, Charlie
Hi considering selling a few amps, was wondering if you had any success selling in this marketplace? Thanks Rich

No not really. The audience is to small. I’ve only had success with small items such as guitar parts. You can still get away selling on Reverb. They are not withholding payments as of yet. They will email you sporadically and ask for your social security so they can send you a 1099. Just don’t give it to them. Good luck
How did you modify the pots in your guitar?

Hey.

You just scrape the carbon strip inside the pot and make it thinner.
Use a practice pot and a multimeter.

It is easy but you have to open the pot.

That sounds correct. I also had killer success with one R8 putting stainless steel rods in the guitar for the ABR1.
On my other R7, nothing changed.

Also, make sure the string slots are perfect.
