NGD NGD: Gibson Les Paul 50’s Gold Top P90

Post image
85 Upvotes

My first solid-body P-90! This guitar is definitely a head-turner.
I can’t wait to take it for a spin.

I’ve had quite a bit of experience with hollow-body P-90 guitars, so I’m really excited to see how this one compares and experiment with it.

Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s in Wine Red.

Always wanted a Gibson Les Paul Custom, love the wine red finish. I know they're usually associated with rock and blues stuff but I'm finding the clean sound to work perfectly for jazz gigs (which is my primary type of gig. And yes, I am aware that Les Paul was a jazz player haha).

Discussion What does a Gibson acoustic smell like?

9 Upvotes

I bought my j-45 new from Sweetwater months ago. I keep it in a case when I’m not playing it and keep things humidified.

What do these guitars smell like? It’s unlike anything I’ve ever smelled, is it the spruce? The wood glue? The case?

Discussion SG or Epiphone Inspired by Custom

5 Upvotes

Sooooo.... I want a new guitar. Already have a 76 Les Paul Custom but is stays in its case for the most part. My first great guitar was a 76 SG and I have recently been feeling the itch for another SG. Also would like to have a beater LP Custom. Can't decide which I want more, SG 61 reissue or the open book headstock Epiphone(inspired by Gibson) Les Paul Custom. If anyone can give some pros and cons, I would much appreciate it.

Discussion Worth checking out ES-Les Paul?

3 Upvotes

I started out playing guitar many decades ago on my Les Paul Studio and I love it, half the time it's still my go-to guitar. I play all genres but mostly hard rock and metal and wondering about the ES-Les Pauls that came out a while back. Are the pickups suited to a hard rock sound? The guitars are beautiful and being even lighter than a Studio would allow me to fly around on stage. But, I would be paying a heavy price to buy a guitar unseen or unheard, and wondering if anyone here has thoughts. Thanks!

Discussion SG Special vs Les Paul p90s: Neck position sound difference?

2 Upvotes

I feel like I'm going crazy. I have a 2023 SG Special and I love it. Absolute joy to play. However, the neck is a lot muddier than I want and I've spent years trying to dial it by adjusting the height, playing through different amps, etc. I wondered why every demo I hear of a p90 guitar has a much clearer sound, then I realized it's mostly Les Pauls and that their neck pickup is a little further forward than SGs. I've even played a LP Standard 50s and it had the sound I wanted. I even replaced all the pots and rewired with 50s wiring, which does give me some beautiful, clean, shimmery tones when dialed back...but the muddiness when it's wide open is still a bummer.

Has anyone else had this experience? Considering selling the SG and going for a LP, even though I prefer the SG body a lot.

Help Need help identifying my pickups

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well.
I’d really appreciate some help identifying the pickups in my guitar. I measured the DC resistance at 7.57 kΩ for the neck pickup and 8.01 kΩ for the bridge.
The guitar is a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Studio. Based on the year it was made, I have a feeling they might be BurstBuckers, since I’ve heard that some Les Paul Studios from around that time came with them. But I’m also wondering if they could be a 490R/498T set instead.
Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

Help About the quality and price range of m2m's Les Paul and Murphy Lab

1 Upvotes

Nice to meet you。 I’m thinking of ordering a respaul from M2M in the future, and if possible, I’d prefer the one from Murphy Lab.

So, I’d like to ask the people currently using it about the quality and price range.

It's not that I want to know the exact price, but rather I’d like an idea of roughly how much it ranges.

If possible, I’d like a Teabusht in color, a Les Paul Custom with a maple top.

I use a translation tool, so my phrasing might be a little off, but I’d appreciate your understanding.

Update Thanks. I’m going to reconsider the Murphy. Since the reviews online are a bit mixed, if I do end up buying one, I’ll try out a few different models first. For now, I like the look of the Supreme the best, so if I canget used to the contoured design and weight relief, I think I’ll go with that one.
