pru56 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 This is my Gibson Les Paul XRIII. Made In Nashville Tn. December 14th, 1982 Production Number 57. I have been tracking it and found that this one my have been call the Silver Streak at one time said Roger Ball at gibson. It will jam and it has a great tone to it, it have the 490's pickups in it and the only thig that I have had to do is get the nut replaced, so had a bone nut installed. The guys at fifth ave. fret shop said this les paul really rocks, and wanted to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That M16 in the toy box... is that one with the orange lever you pull back and it makes a GUH-GUH-GUH-GUH-GUH-GUH-GUH sound? Damn I loved playing with those as a kid.. haven't been able to find one for my kids though. Sweet LP by the way. Love the color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I recall XR1 and XR11 which were uncarved LPs produced in the early 80s. Anybody got more info on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBENDS Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Excellent guitar, pru. I like the Silver with black trim. Sweet. Set neck. 490R & 490T? I'd say there aren't many of those. Take good care of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy2x Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Very nice! Wow, I actually found somebody else out there that owns one of these LP's!! Here's a few pics of mine (see thumbs). She is a heavy grrrrl...in tone and weight! 10.5 lbs to be exact! Shoulder killer if you forget your wide strap! Finding any info on this axe has proven to be a bit frustrating over the years. No one seems to know much about it. If anyone out there does, please share...it would be much appreciated. One thing seems certain...she's a rare bird! I read on a blog that only 60 Silver Streaks were made. I do love this guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I have one with Dirty Fingers pups and a Bigsby. Mine is pretty well played and smelled like a bar room when I got it. Cleaned it up and put on a new set of strings and it is a pretty nice player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy2x Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 After doing a little research, I discovered that the Silver Streak came with Tim Shaw humbuckers (stamped 137 in the neck, and a 138 in the bridge) both wound in January, 1983. These PU's are going for quite a bit of $$$ online! Very cool. That explains why I always loved her tone....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
