Wayneb Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 You have a "Real" Les Paul' date=' do you? (Vintage 1952-1960) If so, that's Great!! But, most of us, don't have from 30 Grand, to over a Million Dollars, to spend on one "Real" Les Paul. So, we buy the reissues, and the "Gibson lites," as you call them, either from financial necessity, or more often, because we really do Like/Love those guitars, in the first place. I see no reason, to denigrate someone elses choice, of "Les Paul," just because it isn't one "you'd" buy? CB[/quote'] I have two from the 50's. Bought them both new. I think I paid around 165.00 for the 56 LP TV yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyrod Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I feel shame ....oh' date=' who are you?[/quote'] I recently tested 3 different R9.. not that different from my Traditional LP. most striking is the varnish that definitely looks thinner and more "chic" Yes these are better than USA factory products, but not enough to pay thrice the money of a good tradti LP. but if I had the money I would also buy one, because those are one step closer to original burst, but that wouldn't make me a better guitarist. remember page, green, clapton and other's LP, were "standard" at the time they bought them.

Surveyor Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Goldtop with P-90s; this looks just like a '56 without the binding. I'm excited and this Les Paul should be a welcome addition to my '73 Ebony Custom and '58 VOS Plain Top. Three real Les Pauls!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 remember page, green, clapton and other's LP, were "standard" at the time they bought them Actually the word "Standard" didnt apply untill 1960. Up till then they were called regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowgard Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Could someone please post a detailed list of the qualities required to make a "real Les Paul" so I don't waste my money on anything less. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks' date=' David[/quote'] Any Les Paul made, between 1952, and 1960! All the others, are just "reissues!" LOL! (Just kidding, they're all "real.") I wonder...does the "Log" count, as a Real Les Paul?! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leewaun Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 No need to thank me. I'm just glad I could help.I think we should all stick together and do what we've always done - pick on Epiphone owners. Epiphone owners grow up and become Gibson owners. I was a epiphone owner for years but now I won't settle for anything but Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
