It's a very nice Triumph Bass, for sure, Mr. Sinclaire! Good luck on selling! Cheers... Bence

Hello NHTom! Here are some photos, on which You can see what makes a Recording a special among Les Pauls. The control panel: The wiring: The pickups: Cheers... Bence

Hello Dave! Just realized that's Your page! How could I be so blind?! Great information there! By the way: I wonder, if it's possible to add my LPR to the "Users Page" section? Cheers... Bence

Hello NHTom! With the four pots You can dial in a year You would like to travel to. One of the switches sets "A.D." or "B.C.". Then, pluck a string and You are there. :D Seriously... These instruments have low-impedance pickups for exceptional tonal clarity. They either have separate output jacks for low-impedance mode - which allows the guitar to be directly connected to recording board or it's own amplifier, and for high-impedance mode, through which they can be connected to regular amp, or they have one output jack and a slide selector for the modes. The pots are: Master Volume, Treble, Bass (I guess, no explanation needed), and an 11-position Decade rotary selector which varies the frequency cut of a filter. With this selector You can make the guitar sound single-coilish, or humbucker-like, even, almost like an acoustic guitar. They also have switch for out-of-phase setting. This only operates when both pickups are on. It gives the guitar a quacky, hollow tone. The 3-position bigger switch bypasses the Treble/Bass controls, and/or other sections of circuit. Cheers... Bence

"Freedom's Wings" - Joe Lynn Turner.

Hello Rory! That's such a great model! Congratulations! If they will be available still when I recover from my last purchase, I'll definitely get one of these in brown. Cheers... Bence

Hello Zurdo! Indeed! They are very similiar! Cheers... Bence

Hello! So, here is my 1978 Recording. Stamped on 1st of February. I've found a site called "Woody's" on the net (maybe You did, Grog recommended it?). There are many people with such instruments. Even found a guitar stamped on the very same day as mine. http://www.rlinwood.com/family_webpage/linkpages/music/LPR/LPR_Master.htm Cheers... Bence

Hello Grog! Your collection is breathtaking! Congratulations! Cheers... Bence

Hello! I thought it would be a good idea to collect us, owners of these rare and interesting guitars, to exchange knowledge and experiences about them, or just to show off our instruments. :) Please post Your pictures, and descriptions of Your beauties. Best regards... Bence

Have to disagree! Once an LP is set up properly - it will stay in tune forever. I bend a lot, and have a brutal vibrato. The nut needs filing on all of them out-of-the-box, then You can forget about the tuning issues. Cheers... Bence

The quality of wood is the same within the whole range of Gibson guitars. Standards, Traditionals have two-piece bodies, while the Studios are usually made from slabs that are glued together from leftover bits and pieces. It's the very same material - nothing wrong with it. You will never notice, unless looking at a natural-colored guitar's sides. That's where You would notice the lines where pieces are joined. Any Gibson USA model after 1982 is swiss-cheesed. From 2007 they are chambered. From 2012 most are "wheel-spoke" relieved (modern weight-relieved) or chambered. Cheers... Bence

"Rainbow in the dark" - Dio.

G-strings were problem on all my LPs. They were sticking at the nut. On 2011 Classic Custom and on the 1978 Recording and the 2010 Tribute... Interesting, isn't it? They all needed some filing. Cheers... Bence

"King of dreams" - Deep Purple. Good luck to Your daughter, Pippy! Good to know, children are still receiving art education at the more fortunate corners of the World. Cheers... Bence
