what les paul do you like best

[knucklebut]

whats yer favorite model

 

[John BNY]

Standard, and then the Traditional.

 

[blues_n_cues]

I'm not really picky except for it has to-
be pre Henry J.
have binding
have 4 knobs.

no clown bursts.EVER!!!!

and for you other clowns,an SG is NOT a Les Paul.

 

[Ugly Duckling]

i really would like to own a Black LP Custom.
I do like my Traditionals very much.

 

[Dino]

Model isn't really significant as long as it has a 60's neck, it sounds good and feels good.

Having said that, I love goldtops.

 

[hobbit1066]

MINE custom wired and overwound pups with coil tap on a 1994 worn and battered Studio, in the Loudest colour - black LOL

 

[stalefish]

I'm probably in the minority that I don't like flame, quilt, tiger, etc tops. I don't want to see wood grain. I couldn't care less about the look of the wood. Paint that bitch. Preferably Gold Top or plain old black or white.

So I like any of them with a plain top, 60s neck, pickguard, binding, etc. I like PAF/moderate output pickups too. No 500Ts or Dirty Fingers mega output junk. Give me a Burstbucker or 57. I generally prefer the solid, or traditional swiss cheese relieving. No chambering or modern weight relief. That's just me though.

This would be it! After all.....I'm a Junior guy!

 

[FennRx]

1957 Custom Reissue

 

[Cadblaster]

R9, or Traditional. No weight relief or chambering.

Fave model, R9's with tad less shoulders. I can deal with depth but shoulders on the neck are the deal breakers for me. These two are just about perfect-

13-

14-

Necks are very close .908 to .910 respectively, but the 13 has a hair less shoulder which makes it a very comfortable guitar to play. The 14 has a strong punch and natural resonation is better.

I've owned Studios, Standards, Traditionals and R8's as well, but the ones I tend to gel the most with are R9's. Even my 2 CC's are 59 burst copies (CC2 and CC8).

 

[ibmorjamn]

For me , I love the older guitars no matter what they are but the only way I will buy a $6.000 guitar is if I get a #1 record Lol
From my recent posts I was going after a 2011 Studio Deluxe. Not my favorite but I have played studio's I didn't like.
Funny I used to have a Black 90's Les paul that was on an extended loan and I never played it. I did have my 70's SG back then.

[telemarshall]

Well, I just got my 2013 Alpine White Studio in from Musicians Friend's Black Friday sale a few days ago, so I'd have to say for now - a Studio!

Might as well make a NGD post ~

Great LP - lovin' it!
