smithy78 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So what Les Paul is known as thee holy grail? '58 model or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 '59 for most of the guys but for me is the one I have. It really deppends on what you like. The 50 ann R9 is supposed to be one hell of a guitar, maybe Are Nine can give you some input on that one. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bram Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well, the '59 Gibson Les Paul is supposed to be the holy grail of electric guitars. It's the guitar that made history on many records, by many famous musicians. Every piece of wood is different, so I don't think it's correct to say that all '59 Les Pauls are great sounding/playing guitars...they ARE great because of their great history, but in the end it's about the tone and playability/feel of the individual instrument. Even if the guitar would sound awesome, then there's still 'taste'. Some people might not like the brighter, clearer tone of the original '59 and expect a thicker (more modern) tone. Most people that love the '59 these days are real blues purists. Give me a rich, warm, full and big sounding LP Custom anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy78 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yeah I guess it's a pretty subjective question, just wanted to see the general opinion. The 59 actually sounds like the perfect guitar for me... $4000 or so? Does it have a fast neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Oh, you're asking about newer models...not the '50s originals. Specify man!! New historic reissues, R7, R8, R9, R0, are all the same. R7 meaning '57 reissue. The only differences in these models is the neck thickness, the finish, plain top or flame top, the weight of each individual guitar, and most importantly....price!! Does it have a fast neck? I don't know, why don't you go out and play a few of them? Not a shredder's guitar, that's for sure. You can get prices from a local dealer, various on-line retailers & eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
