What i'm trying not to say as if it was some sort of secret is that these late 70's to 80's Guild solid body are absolut beasts. Undervalued as hell.
That's my second after a S60 from 79 that, despites the love & abuse it saw, is a hell of a guitar.
This one has a thin mahogany body with a maple top, 24 really easy to access frets, an ebony fretboard and DiMarzio pickups.
The hardware is modern and smart.
It is a heavy guitar which should not disturb any LP aficionados.

Unless I'm forgetting some, 7. 8 if you count the SG.

SG's were first called Les Paul's. They should count.
Calls for a family shot.

I live vicariously through you my man. If you can, then do it brother. I hit this weird thing where I found my Yamaha Ty Tabor and the other guitar player in the band said exactly what I thought: " I think you finally found your voice!" I think I've landed but will reserve the right to gas none the less.
It's weird though, I've chased the dragon for almost 50 years and I may have finally caught him.
Can't imagine something like that, can't imagine dragon chasing to start with.
Closest thing would be a desert island guitar and that's easy enough, but i also know that as soon as i land on the shore, i'd probably chase a turtle to build the second.
Can't even decide on an amp.
Gorgeous thing Jimmy. Congrats. How many Les Pauls?
Quote from: gordo on February 11, 2024, 01:56:43 PMRight?!! I'm thinking about a birth year Les Paul, now. A '71 deluxe with mini humbuckers, I think, maybe.
I had, if memory serves (sketchy lately) a 68 Deluxe gold top that had the mini humbuckers. Back then everyone routed them out and installed humbuckers. Stupid mistake but I was the second owner. The body was intended to house P90's but Gibson's workaround was the trim ring and mini-humbuckers. Those guitars had a sound of their own.
I'd kill to have that guitar back, even in it's routed form. At the time it was the last of the mahogany necks before they switched to maple. Maple?
Quote from: jessenator on February 11, 2024, 11:05:38 AMJust from my observations, the pins are wet small and most likely not strong enough to hold the board without a little help. That's just my thought, anyway.
So this came out of observing a recent troubleshooting thread, but it's made me wonder: why do components like 9mm pots have "pads" where the metal spring-lite clasps mount to to the PCB?
Why is it metalized? Can it just be a drill in the gerbers with no pad? I suppose structural strength, but then again, fiberglass or whatever resin compound it's made from isn't exactly flimsy.
Just something I've wondered about.
In other applications it could be a grounding point, but if there's no conductivity, ground included, then why?

Perfect Les Paul... P90s and a Gold Top. You are now considered complete.
Until future GAS attack....
