[Gibson raises price on the Les Paul Standard]( kisschicken · Apr 1, 2023 at 7:33 PM · Replies 242 For the life of me, I don't understand why when all of our mortgages, car loans, and credit lines are getting more expensive, how the market hasn't dropped off on these types of luxury goods especially as Gibson has been churning these things out like crazy so there has to be used supply out there. There has to be a lot of guys who are facing making a mortgage and... Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more](

I do not know if this is coming from my picking technique (although I suspect so) or if it is my tennis elbow (surgery required) causing problems in my wrist; but whichever it is...

[‘06 Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘50s Neck]( Gridlock · Apr 1, 2023 at 9:14 PM · Replies 5 I never knew these 2000 era ‘50s neck Les Pauls existed. This is an early 2006 guitar that weighs in at a nice 9 lbs 11 oz. It appears to be in good condition and original. Even still has the ‘50s Neck sticker on the truss rod cover. Not home yet, so only photos from the back of my car... Forum [Guitars in General]( [Read more](
[NAM -vs- Tonex - a bit of a reality check]( benifin · Apr 2, 2023 at 7:59 AM · Replies 10 Only posting this as there seems to have been a spate of "NAM-gasam'ing" popping up on Y/T and other places which I have found somewhat, ah, "not quite the full story" / "amusing". In particular, the "good bits" are from 3min... Forum [Digital & Modeling Gear]( [Read more](
[Sigma Japan quality vs Nazareth Martin?]( lifeson1 · Mar 29, 2023 at 1:15 AM · Replies 17 Curious. I'm looking at 000's, and after playing a few recent Martin's - which were great, I came across a used 80's Sigma Japan for under half the price.

[PAF that isn't muddy/boomy]( Mr F90 · Apr 21, 2019 at 6:19 PM · Replies 138 Tried Burstbucker 2. Not that muddy, but has a boomy bottom I don't like. Tried a 57 classic. Way too muddy/bassy. Tried Dimarzio 36th. Not muddy, but has a thumping bottom end that I don't care for and is voiced too aggressively in general. Maybe it's the Les Paul that makes them muddy...
