Dr.Fuzz Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 My first electric was a 59 Les Paul Jr. Still have that guitar, whenever I pick it up it just feels right in my hands. And that dark cherry red over mahogany is sooo pretty... When I play it I think "who needs more than one pickup". drfuzz "I'm just here to regulate the funkiness" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Never cared for Gibson guitars. I was no more/less impressed with the sound of their humbuckers, and I certainly didn't want anything to do with those soap-bar thingies! Real men, when playing single coil p'ups, used Strats or Teles! Then I got a job at Gibson Customer Support. The office is littered with a few seconds and an absolutely gorgeous ES-295, given to my boss Wayne and signed by Scotty Moore. I left that one alone. I'd eat lunch in the break room, then adjourn to the small meeting room where they kept a bunch of display amps plugged in, on stage. I brought an ES-135 with P-90's down there first. Then I discovered a Little Lucille (Blues Hawk in black w/special rotary tone control from the B.B. King, Lucille) in an unlocked case. I spent most lunch hours in the auditorium with that Little Lucille, plugged in to a GA-15RV. Great little class A amp! It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Guitarzan Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 at work a few years ago a freind asked me about an old gibson his grandfather had, i tried to get him to describe it, it didn't help me because all he could remember was the colour...sunburst.. apparently his Grandfather called a local store about getting it appraised and they were gushing like love sick schoolboys when he said what he had, and practically begged him to bring it in. this must have bothered the old guy and he declined. so to this day i still don't know what it was.. i dream of a 59 les paul that is mint....that would be cool. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWelcome Home Studios Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yeah, I got a studio full of them, and memories of the ones that I sold over the years, and the ones that friends have owned.

When I play it I think "who needs more than one pickup". drfuzzOne of the guitars that I most regret not buying was a beautiful, all original, near-mint (only sign of wear was "buckle rash" on the back) '59/'60 Gibson Les Paul Special that I ran across in a shop a few years ago. At the time, I actually could have afforded it, and I still don't fully understand why in the Hell I didn't buy it. It looked nearly brand-new, but played and sounded like a genuine relic, in a good way. What a great guitar!

tiger85 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Originally posted by Doug Osborne: Yeah, but they're all from about 1971.Are you talking about bad Pauls? I remember looking at a couple of early 70s models a few years back. They looked and played like crap compared to my '69 goldtop. But later I bought a goldtop ( mid-70s model I think) and it was much better looking and playing. ...touched down in the land of the Delta Blues.....in the middle of the pouring rain....

Once I had played her, she had me completely at her mercy. I was powerless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njrocker Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 My mouth waters every time I see Lee's Goldtop. No joke. Stories- a friend of mind got his first Les Paul, a light burst, non-flame, custom, when he was 13. My 335 copy plays better than some of the newer Gibsons I've played. When trying to type "Gibson," I often type "Gobson." I used to save every penny so I could buy a white Flying V. I gave up at $637.43. I have a guy at GC who's gonna call me whenever they get a Firebird in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red 67 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I have an epi black beauty. I liked it better than all the gibsons that I had played. I was planing on buying a gibson. I just liked the epi I found better. YES Gold Toooppp! (Homer's donut Drool) Big Red's Ride Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillWelcome Home Studios Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Originally posted by Lee Flier: Need I say more? http://lflier.home.mindspring.com/lee52lp.jpgI had a '57, looked about the same. Finsih turned green on me. I gave it away in 1979 to a good friend, when I was on the road and afraid that it would get stolen. I've since replaced it with a 57 Pre Aged Gold Top model (humbuckings.... not the same) and a mid 70s Gold Top with the smaller humbuckings (Les named this his favorite pickup.) Can't beat old P-90s though. I've also got a 1960 Melody Maker, a 1964 ES-125, a 1968 335-12, a mid 1960s Firebird XII, a mid 1960s J-160e... probably some other Gibsons laying around down there...
