Sorry if posted in wrong place. If anyone is interested, Im selling a Tokai 'Love Rock' Les Paul which is better than any Gibson Ive ever played. Its Sunburst with a Bigsby Trem. Only 2 months old and cost over 400 and Im after 220 ono for her to get rid. I bought on a whim and after one rehearsal, realised I hate humbuckers as does my AC30. Back to the tele it is. Call if interested 07756651158. Located on the Wirral.
Tele/AC30 is the way forward sorry, I'm not in the market for a Les Paul, consider this a bump though!
Odd...my old man gigged a '73 Les Paul through an AC30 for years.... Maybe they just don't make 'em like they used to.
Nicest guitars i've played are 3 of my mates. 3 x '59 Les Paul Custom's (Print your own money selling these) They sound totally amazing!! As for AC30's - i just despise the sound of the things! URGH!
Never been a real fan of Les Pauls, we used to be the local Gibson dealers where I worked as a kid, got all the expensive toys in as we could just for the fun of it, plus some oldies that punters used to bring in for setups. Somehow they never seemed as nice in almost every way as a 335, I always prefered the Epiphone LPs as they felt like they could take more of a pounding. Nice oldies are waaaay out of my league these days, have to sell the house first; check ebay for a giggle. Old vox stuff is great, I have a '62 AC50 with a matching 15" Celestion, alright it is nowhere near as versatile as my pa's Boogie but its all I ever needed. I have a small Fender champ or summat, transistor based thing, that I use more often though.
I was up Denmark St in London today - loads of music shops there. I was buying a present for my cousin, who's a pro drummer. Anyway, getting to the point, there's a 56 Les Paul for sale in Andy's Guitars. Very original, but not mint by any means. Well played. FORTY Grand!! My old man's still got his 73 LP Cherry Sunburst... worth about 3 grand I'm told.
set up ya... for my set up... i got an american made jackson warrior w/ the zakk wylde EMG's a Full stack marshall mg100hdfx.... loud!! i'm also running Digitech metal master, digitech RP50 and a Ibanez weeping demon perfect set-up for my metal!!
Blimey! I wish my Les Paul was that old, mines a 'studio' model which I guess is an 80's/90's one - anyone know how you can find the age out from the serial numbers? My dad has an original Gibson 330TD which I think is a '59 or '60, plays amazingly but he rarely lets me near it!
that sounds amazing... i looked one up on ebay and they were going for like $5,000 ish... thats pretty amazing!!! pic of it for us?
No pics of the actual guitar, but something like this I found on google images, it's very nice indeed!
Nice, basically an old school ES335. They sound fantastic, so i assume that sounds even better! Personally i think my guitar is where its at though...Dean Razorback, TwoTone. Waited a year for it to be built mind, plays and sounds like a demon
this is the guitar i got... but i switched out the seymour duncan's for EMG 81/85 set up... playing it through a marshall fullstack
i've never had a regular shaped guitar haha... first guitar i bought was a BC Rich... then i went to a Epiphone Flying V.. now i'm on the warrior... and they were all black haha not much change i guess
this is what i currently have at home... Gibson Les Paul Epiphone, Gibson Epiphone SJ 18S EB Acoustic, Ibanez AEL2012E 12 String Electro Acoustic, Yamaha Pacifica 312, Yamaha FG 403 MS Acoustic, Wesfield JD30S Electro Acoustic, Wesfield SR383 Electro Acoustic, Aria Pro II Union Jack Electric, Yamaha PSR550 Keyboard, Roland TD-6 Electric Drum Kit, Tascam DP01FX, Shure SM58 Mic, Audio-Technica ATM61HE Mic,
nope, use them all. i use the 12 string ibanez and gibson acoustic for gigging some only for recording and some just for home play.
