Les Paul

Post by **Olly** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 10:12 am

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?

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

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,
