mwink822 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Is it me or do the Les Paul DC Pros seem to get short shrift? I have two of them with the old rootbeer finish that I really enjoy playing. Is it possibly due to the fact that they're not a 'true' Lester for the purists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo68 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 This is the way I look at it - if Mr. Les Paul didn't approve of the Double Cut design then it wouldn't have his name on it. We should start a DC club. Edit: moved pics to the DC club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsaslim Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hey, I'm with ya, Bro. I love mine and wouldn't get rid of it for anything. Those BB pros are sweet, too. Edit. If you look at my avatar you can see that my 2004 model's cutaways are a little different and it doesn't say Les Paul on my headstock. When I bought mine they had the 'Les Paul DC Pro' and the 'Les Paul double-cut'. Nearly identical except mine is AAA maple top vs. AA for the double-cut and dc had neck binding but no body binding and the dc pro had body binding but not neck binding. The dc had 490/498 and the dc pro had BB pros. They both sold for the same price. Oh, and the dc was chambered and the dc pro had the swiss-cheese holes.

Here are a couple of mine: 2000 LP Standard Lite - 492R/'57T pickups' date=' '59 asymmetrical neck, 3/4 trapezoids, chambered body [img']http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/CaptainNemo68/R1-20A.jpg[/img] 1996 LP Special - P90 pickups, 60's neck, solid mahogany body Beautiful DCs you have there. And yes, we should start a DC club. Sadly, since I'm at the office, I can't upload any pics of my DC Pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
