It's 70s as hell but I'm becoming weirdly fond of gross 70s Les Pauls. Just needs black inlay and nickel hardware instead of gold.

I'm throwing out a price guess here: $5,600 US

I forgot to check the price but there's some similar ones on reverb going for $3500-4000, which is probably about as cheap as a vintage Les Paul gets.

I love Zappa, but his famous Les Paul is a hideous finish/hardware combination:

My 70's Japanese copy is the same combo, and to be honest I like it, but it would probably look better with white pickup rings, poker chip, and pickguard

too bad he spent 75% of his recording career trying to prove he was too good for the guitar noise he supposedly loved and the other 25% being misanthropic under the banner of being "smarter than you"

Juaguocio posted:I love Zappa, but his famous Les Paul is a hideous finish/hardware combination: Clownburst was truly the worst Gibson era apart from all the others. I'm a sucker for the seventies era Artisan mahogany/gold aesthetic though and I'm glad Lee Malia has resurrected it for his signatures.  Also a pic of my new SG just because. First time I've used 50s wiring and really enjoying the interactivity - these pickups are real gems for clean sounds but I fancy something like a filtertron in the bridge to get my Akka on. The search never stops etc.

I knew about the Vox guitorgan but I'd never heard of a Godwin. Hard to believe more than one company thought that was an idea worth pursuing. I wonder how much that thing weighs.

It's old as hell and German so I wonder what kinds of tunes were played with it. EDIT: It looks like something The Baseballs would have on stage. Rugoberta Munchu fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Apr 15, 2018 |

That's a pretty sweet guitar. Does that kind of wraparound bridge use thicker posts, or are they just regular tune-o-matic size?

That's the opposite of what I had hoped. :-/ I have a project-guitar with a missing tailpiece and weird spacing between the holes. I might have to try and fabricate a new tailpiece.

Wraparounds predate the Melody Maker, I think they first started showing up on '53-'54 Les Pauls.

Yeah, the wraparound was the bridge that came after the weird tailpiece/bridge combo on the first production run of Les Pauls. They were introduced in '53 and standard on all gibson products until the invention of the TOM a couple years later. They were used on the more budget-friendly models and on most guitars with vibrolas after that. There's something about wraparounds on carved tops that I just love. This might be it's own stupid music poo poo, but my dream guitar is a natural finish Les Paul Deluxe with a wraparound.

Personally I'd prefer it on a slab body -- speaking of, I wonder if anybody makes a Les Paul Special that doesn't cost $2,000? (No, the $100 Epiphones don't count -- those aren't really proper Specials.)

It's an old old japanese SG-copy. It has a bigsby mounted on top of the old tailpiece-posts so it's a bit hard to measure. But they're definitely closer together than a regular TOM tailpiece. About the same distance apart as the bridge-posts.

I'd guess metric vs imperial or if the bridge posts are spaced differently as well then it could be due to the bridge radius. A quick google shows TOM and bigsby style post spacing anywhere from 72mm to 95.7mm depending on manufacturer and model.

http://mayones.com/guitars/ lol Mayonnaise guitars with looks to match. Also, they are expensive as gently caress. Like Gibson expensive. (Yes, I am aware at least one of you will tell me I'm wrong and that is when I will insist it is YOU who are the wrong one.)

I wasn't going to judge them too harshly until i saw that they have a model called the 'Djentlemen'. It's like the fedora of guitar names.

In my favorite bar's monthly rock/metal quiz, one of the regular teams is called "Meshuggahbabes & Djentlemen". We also have "Team Britney", complete with pink t-shirts, pink tablecloth, pink pens and pink drinks, so make your own judgements as to the seriousness of the whole thing.
