LukeR Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I have been lookiing for one for about 4 years now, and have pretty much given up hope. Obviously there are a million on sunbursts, but i have NEVER seen anything about customs. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... If i am wrong though, and you find one, could you let me know? Cheers, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Look for anything by Lisa Sharken. She's a freelance writer who's been in all the major guitar mags, and does a helluva setup on a Les Paul. She's also a Marshall freak (we joke that her headboard is a couple of 4x12 stacks...and has a coffee table built out of JCM800s. LOL). She hosts a guitar chat every Monday night at 10PM on AOL. Unfortunately, you have to be an AOL member to get in. Lots of regulars in there too....with some insane amounts of vintage info. Lisa knows LP's in and out. Look up her books when you get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Wasn't there a book called "Beauty of the Burst" that was entirely about Les Pauls? Amazon Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 What information were you after? Or are you just looking to expand the guitar-porn library ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I am going to start collecting guitars as investments.... at least thats what I am telling my wife. I want an older LP but I want to know more about them. You know doing my DD, like some of us do hear. Specifically I want to find an older LP custom that has a three piece neck, but non pancake body. need to know type of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I want an older LP but I want to know more about them. You know doing my DD, like some of us do hear. DD? Sorry, you lost me here. IMO your best source for this kind of info would be a post at the MIMF with a title like 'Paging John Catto - LP custom info'. That guy really knows his LP history...

Setch Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Doh, sorry Monkey, I'm being a 'tard. Your posts makes perfect sense, unless you have the short term memory of a flea. Like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 It would be awesome if we could get permission, and archive their conversations on this site for people (like me) who don't have AOL. If someone with AOL could check on that I'd be obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
