Denton Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hey All, just wondering- Has anyone ever seen a one off model of a Les Paul, called a "Less Paul"? I was at the Arlington Guitar Show a few years back, and asked one of the Gib reps there if he had ever heard of one. He mentioned that he thought there was a one off model made, but did not have much information past that............ How about you Gibson fans? Anyone have, or know where I can get- pix of this Special Model? As I recall, it was like a "regular" Les Paul, only with body contours more like a Strat, if you forgive me mentioning a Fender guitar here!!! Also, (not sure if this is the right forum for this question) but I have been looking for an Epiphone Barcelone classical (years 63-69, I believe) Reason is, that was the first real guitar I had, purchased by my folks for me in 1964- ( a 64 model) I sure loved that guitar, and played it constantly for 3-4 hours a day for about a year and a half. Then, it developed a bad split on the top, running from the center of the bridge to the soundhole. Luckily, the music store(s) back then, honored warranties pretty well, and they let me trade it in on another guitar, giving me (I think) most all of the purchase price back. It was a fairly expensive guitar for 1964- I would have been 12 years old at the time- (old guy! lol) I did find a 64 Gibson C-2 classical on Ebay several years ago, and bought and played it until 2007, when I re-sold it on Ebay due to financial problems I was going thru at the time. It was, I think, about the closest thing to the Epi Barcelone that Gibson offered. Wish I still had it! Of course, I wish I had ALL the guitars I've bought and sold over the years- don't we all, I guess? Anyway, if anyone has answers, please let me know, and thanks ahead of time!

MojoRedFoot Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Is this what you're talking about? Notice only 3 nobs. I can't find a picture of the back but the body is thinner than regular LPs and has the belly contour. I have not seen many of these. Only made em in the early/mid 80s I believe.

Thundergod Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 No, but I have been offered les pauls for less than street price I also once saw a les paul with one less knob and one less tuner, it was selling for really cheap. I also played one with one less pickup once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
