Topic: Les Paul

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?

Re: Les Paul

50s are fat necks......60s are not so fat necks...... Green mate I am green

Imagine if the words of Imagine ever came true.....

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,  default/sad
I'm far happier with my Telecaster,  default/smile That's a keeper for sure.

Hi Rick,  default/smile  As far as I know he's still got it, mind you I haven't seen him in the last 3yrs since I moved,  default/roll
