Well since it was Les Paul’s birthday let’s break em out and show em. Gibson, Epiphone, whatever, let’s see them. No outright counterfeits please.
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 |

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.

Beautiful guitars guys.
I was just eyeing an Epiphone LP Classic on Sweetwater. Black & White seems to be what I'm into these days. |

1963 Gibson Les Paul SG Jr. got this from my uncle in 90-91 in poor repair. I had it restored back to original about 7 or 8 years ago.

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

View Quote 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. |

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. |
