I’ll start. Here’s one of mine. It’s string change month for me so I’ll post more as I get to them. 2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional in honey burst  Attached File |

My '79 Artist modified to sound good by pulling the trash Moog electronics and installing Rio Grandes. I think I'm on my third set of frets? Maybe fourth? I play it a lot.

Kind of a bargain if you think about it. Considering John Lennon’s lost Framus 12 string sold recently for just shy of $3m and Kurt Cobain’s Martin sold for $6m. |

Trying to decide on the pick guard on this. It’s a 2022/23 Gibson Slash Standard. November burst.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Spleenless-Dave: 2021 Epiphone LP Custom Koa. http://i.imgur.com/81dkml2.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/daiqI9s.jpg That’s absolutely beautiful! I’ve been pretty impressed with Epiphone over the past 5 or 10 years or so. I had one in the mid 90’s with a birdseye maple top and clear finish. It looked good but the quality wasn’t quite there. I do have an Epiphone double neck now and it’s pretty good. Just takes forever and a day to tune it and it’s awkward to play. |

I'm a bass player, so no Pauls, but I have had several of the hard cases-- great discreet carry for a CAR-15 from back in the Day, though there is a bit more room in a Strat case, but then they get heavy fast.

Can’t play a guitar at all and can barely play bass. These LPs are absolutely gorgeous…any flavor.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DM1975: That’s just so he can keep making money on refretting your guitars I bet. Well to be clear he *will* do it but I have to pay his hourly rate for it which would make it cost about the same as a neck reset LOL. Stainless frets take a lot more time to do right and outside of getting them roughed on something like a Plek I can't imagine wanting to take the time, either. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DM1975: Nice! How do you like that explorer? I'm not who you asked, but I have a Custom Shop Explorer and an Epiphone Moderne. The Explorer is surprisingly comfortable to play but, even having said that, I prefer the Moderne. It looks like it would be big and clunky, but it's actually super lightweight. At least it feels like it. I've never actually weighed it. I went with the Epiphone rather than the Gibson because I like the grain of the Korina they use better. |
