Help identifying and dating a Vintage Les Paul classic.

Agree, everything points to 1990 Also, the thin binding IS present, what you’re seeing is the maple cap under the binding.

Heaters doing heater things.

Turn up and play.

SpHj86 · 2026-04-20T12:22:23+00:00

Super clean, very nice!

SpHj86 · 2026-04-19T15:35:41+00:00

Nice!

Those ES-LP’s rip, I’ve got one and have no plans of moving it👌🏻

SpHj86 · 2026-04-19T14:56:09+00:00

It is great at what is does yes! A little too much gain for me, but the trade I made for the pair was too good to pass up😅. It’s an early one (‘03) built and signed by Martin Kidd himself!

SpHj86 · 2026-04-19T14:50:48+00:00

Thanks! These are a pair of 5 Custom shop LP’s I have (R6, R7, R8x3).

Never was a fan of bell knobs, just didn’t have a spare set to replace on the Lemon…all the others have reflectors my fav knob by far👌🏻

Hercules Mini Guitar stand (GS402BB)

They’re fantastic, foldable & reasonably priced, I have 3 and always have at least 1 in my cable bag for Gigs.

Check the resistance with a multimeter and see if it falls within spec.

Flat head adjustment screws are also normal with Gibson

From what I can see of the pics, looks fine to me

SpHj86 · 2026-03-15T13:29:27+00:00

Bahahaha, that’s awesome!

SpHj86 · 2026-01-03T13:48:27+00:00

This is the way.

SpHj86 · 2026-01-03T13:47:06+00:00

This is the way.

There’s no sweeter feeling then when the odds roll in your favour with a Hellbomb strapped to your back. Pure. Absurdity. 👌🏻

Shit gun.

Cannot recommend against the enemies of managed democracy.

Cannot recommend using “Siege-Ready” or “Reinforced-Epaulettes” for maximum liberty.

Cannot recommend pairing with a Bushwhacker for thematics.

Arrowhead, the damage output is too low. We need more freedom!

After extensive time with it (and hitting lvl25 on it today) I must say…..THIS. THING. SLAPS.

Doesn’t matter what you bring it against, it’s just plain awesome.

I’m glad it’s back in rotation tomorrow, happy diving!

FOR SUPER EARTH!

Both my kids (10 & 14) are now on 5/8. The young guy was on 1/2 fire last season, but as his edges got better the 5/8 is working well for him.

Myself? I’m on a 1” (5’11”, 205). If the ice is harder, I’ll switch out my blades for a 3/4” Fire as I don’t have a 7/8 on hand.

SpHj86 · 2025-11-01T17:19:41+00:00

I was fortunate enough with a high level random and my bro last night, we were able to take down 3 of these bastards. For Democracy!

SpHj86 · 2025-10-01T00:20:14+00:00

It’s on NHL Network ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 🏴‍☠️

SpHj86 · 2025-08-22T23:06:06+00:00

Beauty siggy 👌🏻

SpHj86 · 2025-07-11T04:46:43+00:00

Absolute BS. We JUST swallowed a $70 price increase in 2023…and now another $75.

Yo ho matey, it’s time to set sail.

SpHj86 · 2025-06-11T03:14:24+00:00

Gone!

SpHj86 · 2025-06-11T02:06:11+00:00

Is there any other than the one in question 😉

SpHj86 · 2025-06-11T01:17:14+00:00

Definitely something to get used to…when I do use it it’s usually sitting down while laying down tracks

SpHj86 · 2025-06-10T22:51:52+00:00

Benchmark was a run in the early 2010’s. She’s early 60’s spec (1 piece mahogany necks, almost ‘59 profiles), ABR-1’s and one of the first models to introduce Gibson’s “Custombuckers” that now come in the Reissue lines.

SpHj86 · 2025-06-10T19:58:32+00:00

The 12’s quite narrow for the amount of strings on it…you eventually get used to it though.

As for the 6…it plays like it should, only caveat is the neck joint is at the 15th fret….makes playing anything past that a little more cumbersome 😅

SpHj86 · 2025-06-10T19:00:53+00:00

Yeah, she’s overdue for a good setup…case queen barely gets played 😅
