r/LesPaul

Hello, I used AI to help me narrow down some decisions, I want you guys to help if you can. JB bridge/‘59 neck seems to be a staple, but I have a JB in my fender Strat, and it’s fine. Nothing special. What do you guys think about a 59\custom hybrid in the bridge and an Alcino Pro 2 in the neck? I like hard rock, I’ll be playing sabbath, acdc, zepellin, and it would be cool to play some lamb of god on this as well. I have katana mk2 50 amp with the app and access to tons of presets btw.

Thank you guys

Crazy ass question, but I do like alpine white more, and this is a custom shop for $800 or so more. I am interested in my guitars value and rarity in the future. I think it’s so neat that there was more attention put into this guitar (allegedly).

What does this custom shop really mean? Is it worth spending the money or even taking the chance of this guitar not being in good condition? My black one is flawless, almost. What do you guys think? Is this thing going to appreciate? What even is this particular guitar? It looks very similar to mine, but I think it’s a 2025. There is also no COA with the custom shop, well at least it’s not stated. What do you think?

Thanks, I’m new. I am so sorry for crowding this sub

American professional classic.

I was torn between the am pro ii and the avri ii. This was cheaper than both and seems like the best of both worlds. Feels and sounds great! 😊

I’m absolutely loving it!

I bought my first electric guitar for my 18th birthday, with the help of my parents. I hate to admit, I took it in as a p/ex on an old Strat a couple of years later. That decision has always bugged me, despite owning a string of LP Standards over the subsequent years.

So, last week, I pulled the trigger on the guitar on the right. Same year, same colour, as new condition.

It arrives Wednesday. I cannot wait!

I picked this beauty up about a month ago and kept seeing posts about people removing the pick guards. I was hesitant at first, but decided to remove it and I’m glad I did. I feel like it made the guitar more of “my own”. Plus I banged the headstock on the ceiling a couple times since owning it and got a couple of battle scars, so now I feel like the initial “babying it” phase is over.

Trying to find out more about this one. Preferably when is was made, seller sold it as early 80’s and based on superficial details I definitely agree but I’d like to narrow it down.

Any ideas on how to find out more?

The folks from the pawn shop I bought it from were very nice. Did a very good job packing it...not going to say who,,,,, Bread X just threw this thing so hard...they snapped the headstock.....I lost 2 grand because of some blankity blank blanks!🤬

Its at the repair shop right now...well worth fixing. Just bummed.

My 2009 R9 and 2017 Tremonti. Both get a lot of playing time, and they’re both so refreshingly different from each other.

Of all my various guitars, the 50’s Standard is becoming my constant go to for playability. The neck is awesome, and is just so comfortable to play. I never wanted a cherry burst before until I saw this one and played it.

i dont know much about it but it plays okay and the pickups sound great. i took the truss rod cover off and im not sure if it has one, maybe its at the other end of the neck?

I picked up a second-hand 2011 Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plustop Pro from Japan. Swapped the knobs and toggle switch tip for a more ’60s look.

My 2022 Demo shop Gibson Les Paul 50’s standard. Definitely a forever guitar for me!

Hello all. I’ve purchased this beautiful Les Paul standard last year. No issue for a while until I didn’t play it for some time. I noticed that the middle and Rhythm toggle didn’t produce any sound. Sent to the shop and he said it’s just need some TLC cause it’s an expensive guitar and the issue stems from dust or something. But now it happened again. This time i purchased some contact cleaner and spray the heck out of it but nothing seems to work. It’s a bit hard to send to the shop again cause of distance but if anyone have an idea or possible workaround, please help this person out 😭🙏🏻 thank you

Finally did it. My Epi LP (1995 Korea) was my first guitar that was not a hand me down from a relative or a pawn shop find…my parents got for me for Christmas in 1995 and it has been my primary guitar since then. After my wife and kids and cats it’s what I’d run into a burning building to save (hopefully never have to).

As much as I love that Epi I always wanted a Gibson LP and a tobacco burst LP (yep one of those people who wanted to learn guitar the moment Slash walked out of that church and into the desert in November Rain). After a visit to the Gibson Garage in Nashville recently I was inspired and finally felt the time was right and made my move. I debated humbuckers versus P90s but I have a couple guitars with humbuckers and one of my favorite artists (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) has used a gold top P90 LP at times so I felt tobacco burst P90 bridged where I started I ended up as a guitarist.

I’ll be honest…in terms of playability the difference is negligible but it makes me very happy to see them next to each other…some kind of full circle nonsense, but they’re both stunning and inspiring guitars.

Problem: both volumes are acting as master volume(s) when pickup selector is in the middle position, meaning both controls affect the total output; turning either volume knob to zero will silence the entire guitar.

This is not the case on my LP Studio Deluxe 2, where I can blend the pickup levels independently.

I'm told it can be rewired to decouple the volumes, but doing so could introduces significant treble loss?

That sound right?

I ruined myself as a PhD student at the time but it has been such an incredible instrument. I played countless hours on it, and P90 have quite an impressive versatility that allowed me to play from math rock to stoner rock and prog rock. Love the fact that I got an edition without the classic gold top

Session Studio and Modern. Both new.

Got bored and came up with it. Nothing too special, basically the regular one with a bigger pickguard.
