I'm not surprised.

Les Paul basses never really caught on. For Gibson/Epi you're much more likely to see an SG/EB bass or a Thunderbird than a Les Paul bass. Even the funky Ripper and Grabber types seem more popular than LP's.

johnreardon · October 10th, 2009, 03:30 PM

Here's my Reissues, R6, R7 & R9

I also have an LP Junior Special, shown in between the 339 and the R9

While I know this, I love LP basses....except for the dog ugly money bass

Here's my '73 Deluxe routed for sized humbuckers (Peter Florance Voodoo 59's).

RichardWitt · October 17th, 2009, 06:12 AM

After almost 20 years of playing guitar, I've finally relented.
This one came up at a bargain price on eBay this week! Almost half of what a new Custom is worth new here in Australia! I couldn't resist!!!

Sorry no pics of my own yet, eBay picture used.

AjayTele · October 17th, 2009, 08:16 AM

Nice looking LP, Richard! Yes the second hand market is pretty good value at the moment in OZ.

I recently found this for a price that I was prepared to pay...

h20man · November 6th, 2009, 07:19 PM

I have a 89 Standard in Ebony. Got it back in '93 or '94. Has some natural relicing and sounds great.

'56Teleman · November 6th, 2009, 11:14 PM

Vintage Mahogany

Prairiewood Special

Tom A. · November 7th, 2009, 08:31 AM

Here is my Classic Antique.

Psyclone · November 7th, 2009, 05:58 PM

85 Studio. Much loved and abused and modified since new.

DrewB · November 8th, 2009, 06:01 PM

Here's my first one, a '76 Deluxe. I bought it in '93 for $525. I sold it almost a year ago...

...because my second one, late-'06 G0 bought in March '07, was getting all the playing time. This one weighs 8.42# and has the clearest neck-pickup sound I've ever heard from a Les Paul.

This is my Epiphone LE '57 Reissue Junior with a Jason Lollar P-90 and upgraded pots. I picked it up a couple of years ago for $150. I haven't weighed it, but I'm guessing it's around 7#.

Meteor60 · November 10th, 2009, 03:06 AM

My 1958 Les Paul Special and 1968 Les Paul Gold Top. Great guitars but still not as good as my 52RI Telecaster

fourmations · November 10th, 2009, 06:11 PM

StraightNeck · November 11th, 2009, 05:14 AM

Stevie 202 · November 11th, 2009, 08:13 AM

My humble Epi, Lester.

Re-wired, some cosmetic changes, replaced bridge and stop tail with Gotoh nickel version. Got a tusq nut coming.
Got a big fat neck that's a joy to play (after I got used to it).
Sounds KILLER through my little AC4.

caliban335 · November 11th, 2009, 05:49 PM

otaypanky, I LOVE that signature. That's the original Gibson version, right?

caliban335 · November 11th, 2009, 05:54 PM

Here's my Epi Les Paul Junior '57 Re Issue. It's a really fine guitar, particularly since the P-100 was replaced with a P-90.

This isn't a Lester, but it's obviously inspired by. Epi Genesis Custom. It's the heaviest guitar I've ever picked up.

MaskedRider · November 14th, 2009, 04:35 PM

I just got a used R 7 this week.Can I join?

Dave_Strat · November 14th, 2009, 05:10 PM

Here's my family pictures. Still need to take a picture of the Tele and include it.

tdub32 · November 16th, 2009, 01:28 AM

I have a few mods done to this. Rs guitar works pots, pups are gibson 496R and 500T and I wired it using 50's style wiring. Nice Paul sound.

artopee · November 16th, 2009, 04:51 AM

Heres my homebrew Les Paul Standard:

- Neck PU: DiMarzio Custom Shop DP205SP, Steve Morse model

- Bridge PU: Seymour Duncan SH-4, Jeff Beck-model

Here's my 'Silverfox' next to 1959 RI Melody Maker

Pappy · November 17th, 2009, 09:31 AM

I have a '92 LP studio that was my first real guitar. The headstock had broken off at some point and after it was repaired it was dropped off at a pawn shop and I snatched it up for 600.00. Now, after 12 years of learning on it, it feels like home when I put it on. It needs a wicked refret, but it's still something I don't consider selling.

I'll post pics later on.

Deadsy · November 17th, 2009, 09:41 AM

I just picked up a Special last night, love it so far! I might be putting P-90's in it, we'll see :)

What I really want is a melody maker :D

Pappy · November 17th, 2009, 09:48 AM

I will say that while I don't consider selling it, I AM considering swapping out the plate and knobs like on the last page. It makes it look a billion times better!

leonard22 · November 17th, 2009, 09:52 AM

Here is my LP BFG hanging out with his buds.... I put a cover on the truss rod cavity, HB, and the P-90, and replaced those awful wood knobs
now that I think about it I cant remember ever playing it without the P-90, man I love that P-90... excuse the mess i was in the process of moving, i have much more room now!

Melody Makers are very underrated IMHO. It's true a lot of them need a professional touch up with setting up the action and tidying up the frets...But after my luthier was done with it my MM plays like a dream. In fact I prefer its neck to my LP's.

Spidercaster · November 19th, 2009, 05:45 AM

My 2004 54 RI -

Pappy · November 19th, 2009, 06:56 AM

This was from about six years ago, but it was the only one already in my Photobucket album.

I've got another LP, this time an MIJ Epi Junior Lacquer Series.

Pappy · November 19th, 2009, 12:54 PM

Would you mind posting a picture of the headstock on the JR?

dantonel · November 19th, 2009, 01:03 PM

Zeppelanoid · November 20th, 2009, 02:00 AM

Here's mine, a 2005 Epiphone Standard (it's been that long already?). It's the only one I've seen in this finish, I dubbed it "Moonburst"
