rfiori9 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If you could own any Les Paul from the 70's, what year and model would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It would be the earliest of the "Standard" reissues. Here's my '75, as early as I could get: As early as 1971 Gibson did manufacture a run of Standards called "'58 Reissues", and made about 1000 for a New York retailer. I'd love to get my hands on one of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riptide Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A '76 Deluxe Goldtop. Just like Mike Ness! I could go for any '70s LP Deluxe though :) EDIT: My Favorite finishes are Goltops and Tobacco burst :) Also, I always wanted to try one with a maple neck... have any of you played one of those? If so, what kind of difference was there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I keep you in the loop if it ever happens Charlie. The plain tops are so cool man, don't you think? That I do, mate...that I do! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin' Joe Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If you could own any Les Paul from the 70's, what year and model would it be? Actually any 70's Les Paul would be fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thats awesome...I saw a picture of Alex Lifeson playing one that looked unusal like this...Not the prdution one I was used to seeing. Hi Donny. I'm not familiar with the one A.L. plays but yes; that one's a bit special. It's the prototype Recording as designed by Les Paul for his own use. The snaps I posted were taken from the catalogue for the 'Julien's Auctions' company which organised the auction to sell-off many of Les' guitars (and gear) after he passed away. The pre-auction estimate, seen at the end of the text-box, seemed (to me!) to be a very reasonable $20,000 - $30,000. In the event, of course, it made a possibly more realistic $180,000... Nice guitar, though. I'd bet our good friend Bence would like to try it out against his own Recording model - just out of interest. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hey I have been looking at Plain top Classics on eBay after I priced 70s Les Pauls.I think if I get one in a Vintage burst add 57 Classic/Classic Plus set and gold reflector top hats with siver inserts...Tribute to my first Les Paul :) Go For It, Donny! As I believe I've mentioned once before(!), Great Guitars! For the price you can get them for in the States I'd buy loads; They're about 50 - 60% more expensive over here. The possible sticking point might be silver-topped reflectors. I think Gibson themselves only offer gold-dish'd ones as aftermarket parts - although I'm sure other companies will offer some. And when you get it, Pics or it didn't happen!...LOL! P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
