Lets bring those Les Paul's out for the respect of the man himself. Post songs/ Youtube clips, using the bass as well

RIP
My song -
Sweet Mother Of Paulie- using just my LP Standard bass

Can geetards join the game? Here's my Epi /w lipstics.

Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

A Standard with a scratch plate (pre-owner ordered it that way) plus T.M. Stevens' Custom Shop 8 string monster







A passive LPB-1 to the left, a 5 string tiger stripe DeLuxe in the middle and a custom ordered brownish (should have been translucent black, but the maho turned it brown) fretless 4 string DeLuxe:



Me live and the Signature, in my usual fretboard location:



An Epi prototype, neck-thru and all maple, imagine an aggressive Ric with humbuckers and you know what it sounds like, real secret weapon:



An apprentice at the Gibson Custom Shop built this for himself, the body is thinner and larger than a reg LP body which makes this a Les Paul-Ripper!




The next two aren't mine:

An interesting mod on a Standard:



A rare green fin DeLuxe 5 string:

John, cool tune and cool tones as always.

That silverburst Triumph....  :o :o :o

This is certainly not my best performance, but it's OK. From about 3 years ago.

This was my '94 Heritage Cherry with Barts. I liked it despite a few on this board who aren't fans. Wound up trading it for an '86 Ric straight up...
