Wanted Les Paul Standard and SG Standard

[Bogwhoppit]

I am about to GAS a new Les Paul and SG tomorrow, so one last chance if anyone is selling a decent example.

I dont do eBay, to much hassle. But will buy from a forum member if its near enough for me to view and do the deal.

I just punted a stunner a few weeks ago. Sorry bud. Was for sale on here for a good while.

PS: There's a Townsend sig SG for sale on here though?

I remember your one but didnt have the cash back then , I have since sold half a dozen of mine.


I stear clear of any signature models. I just dont feel right gigging with them, its like I am saying " I love this player, he is my everything, my rock, my bum friend and lover, I lick his anal crease just to be with him ", the only signature I like on them is Gibson or Fender. Unless I have an Ego moment and I sign it myself

Les Paul and Leo Fender are designers of a brand, not a player to worship. ( aka Ford Mondeo , not Ford the racing driver ).


I am an individual ( a bit like one of those apple pies in a Mr Kiplin box ) , I like to think I have my own style, rather then copy to the point that I have to have Steve Vai's name tattooed on my arse just because he is a talented player.

I have stood in the audiance of many a gig to hear the <cough = wanker> snort due to someone with no sense of irony sporting a Eric Clapton signature strat just because he also wanted to be an avid drug user in his younger days.

I prefer to see young John Smith playing his knackered £30 copy, by putting his heart into it. One day John may grow up and have his own strat named after him. But the next future John Smith wont be playing it

Hi there,

Each to their own I suppose

I have no wish to lick mr T's anal gland, I just wanted a decent SG special and happened across the one I now have for sale. I don't normally bother with Signature items either so I do get where you are coming from.

Good luck with the search for an LP and SG. I've got a 2002 SG Standard and modded 2004 Gibson LP Classic for sale too if you are interested (Classic has Bareknuckle p/ups, Grovers and a Tonepros bridge).

All the best
Hugh

Les Paul didn't design the Les Paul. He endorsed it. Seth Lover et all designed it.

Les Paul is famously known for inventing multi-track recording.

Thats why I said designer of a brand.

The "brand" existed before les Paul came along.

yup, gibby LPs were originally a SIGNATURE guitar, the rest just followed because it was easier marketing to have an LP jr/special/sg/custom/classic/bfg etc etc and because orginally gibson werent even sure they wnated their own name on a solidbody electric.
