I am now looking to buy a les Paul but there seems so many variations I am confused.

There seems to be a lot about chambered or urn chambered and 50s or 60s necks amongst other things.

Prices seem to vary wildly.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Mine was a 1961 Black Beauty, it had massive frets and a neck like a baseball bat, sounded brilliant, but I just didn't gel with it, I only kept it for a couple of years then sent it off down the road, :(
I'm far happier with my Telecaster, :) That's a keeper for sure.

That was a nice guitar, and i was chuffed when you said you prefered my Epiphone Black Beauty. Has Ricky still got your old Gibson?

Hi Rick, :) As far as I know he's still got it, mind you I haven't seen him in the last 3yrs since I moved, :rolleyes:
