[wreckingcrew]

All I need for her is the neck pickup, the pots, and the selector switch... I'm kinda thinkin about just leaving the pots and switch thats in it though.. the zebra pickups are gonna look bad ass ont hat thing though! especially with the creme selector switch tip I put on it:headbang

Now for the Ugly! :D Just a cheap Gibson LP
Special SL. No pretty maple cap, but the tone
is as dirty as she is- maybe due to the lack of
a million coats of lacquer? Stock pups & all.

Its a Kramer LP "Custom" that I modified with gold hardware and Duncan Pearly Gates. Its the best playing and sweetest sounding guitar I've ever had in my hands.

Just about finished decorating the house and finally got my Floyd Les Paul out of storage. Please... no lectures about the headstock. ;) I know it's not a Gibson and I have no intention of selling it as such. I just couldn't resist utilising the open book headstock shape, and custom TRC's are easy to get hold of these days! Pickups on the CH floyd model have been changed from stock to a Tonerider Generator in the bridge and a Tonerider Rocksong in the neck. The wiring has also been upgraded to the Jimmy Page 20/20 Dual Master wiring schematic and is fitted with Sprague caps. The bridge is quite JB-ish and the neck pickup... well, "Shine on you crazy diamond" played on a Les Paul? Damn right.

[slashrox]

I'm a big fan of Les Paul guitars!!! :thumbsup

I had a Epi LP that I picked up 2nd hand for $450. I sold it as I didn't really like the neck profile on this one... I preferred the neck profiles on my Uncles 95 LP standard & 92 epi lp custom.

I would like to get another LP one day. If I were to get one anytime soon, I'd be going for the pre-2004 made Gibson LP's.

Anyway heres a pic.

when i was down for the konvention, i managed to get into the gibson all star jam they hold at one of the factory's. anyway, i was mortified when i saw the shop completely wide open so everyone could look around. the big garage style doors were open, and the humidty was somewhat high. hundreds of unfinished necks and bodies and finger boards were just laying around being exposed to the elements.:nono

I didn't know imports were OK.

Here's the only pic I have of my Epi LP Standard. It may not have a $300 slab of maple on the top but to my ear it sounds as good a a Gibby:D

The figuring is so cool it actually looks holographic, if that's the right term.

I love that Faded Les Paul Dino- I've been wanting one since theyve came out. If I was to buy a LP itd either be a faded, custom or that new axcess and the faded tends to be a little bit cheaper :)

That smokin pickup in the Epi is bad ass
whered you get it?

[smorgdonkey]

I couldn't resist this deal on a Les Paul Studio like the one I already have except the new one has chrome hardware:
