My other guitar is a Strat.

Goodmorning Trauma my friend, so sad havent heard just got up, I love his guitars named after him but he did contribute also to some aspect of design. He had his own jazz club where he would play each week I believe. I have a law suit black beauty from the early seventies a Japanese make but magnificent. Godbless you MR Les Paul and thankyou for being a legend of rock and music.

Yes Vinny Les used to play up until a few months ago every Monday at a Jazz Club called The Iridium. My pops works as the DJ for WKCR in NYC(89.9 fm Thursday nights from 6-9, wkcr.com) and we used to frequent it often as he would get to go to free shows. One of his interviews was of the great Charlie Parker! NYC is a cultural phenomenon...he will be missed...now I really want a Les Paul Standard.....and a Clapton.....and a Mayer.....wishes.....wishes....

Vinny...The worst part of it is that when I did get the chance to see him I was young and didn't know his history...I only started playing guitar since Dec. 08, but I knew he was different.......

Hello orville hopkins and Trauma I saw Les Paul on TV today playing a few years ago was very good and then they showed him playing in the fifties he had 3 number 1 hits in the states, and oh my he was playing a black beauty and his fingers were ripping up and down the neck at an incredible speed as good as any great lead guitarist I have ever seen, that blew me away.

Busy Vinny Pop day today, refinished the frets and stained the board and this aftermnoon my baby CAME she is sooooooo HOT, year 2005 RI 62 Placid Blue loaded body, mint condition. Interesting have never seen a neck plate like this one, it reads Fender Carona California, its nice and different, its a custom shop model I think as the pic ups are fat 50s custom shop. Have boldted the 93 neck on and it slotted perfectly , your so good to me Mr Fender. Just need some quality tuners, ps be careful buying second hand tuners on ebay as just because they are a good brand means nothing does it? they are probably stuffed. I scored an fantastic set of Ghoto tuners from a Fender last week for 20.00 from a dealer. and they are as tight as a xxxxxxxxxxx This is now my Vinny Pop guitar line up
and I wish they could kiss my lips but they are just guitars not REAL WOMEN blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
