My First ENTIRE RE-Build Les Paul. I took this Epi Les Paul guitar apart and put it back together piece by piece and it WORKS PERFECT and Plays Like A DREAM. I used the Stewart MacDonald video and I bought a ton of equipment and PARTS. This is my very first complete REBUILD EVER and it turned out AWESOME. I am for HIRE and I am confident that I can fix or build any guitar and make it work RIGHT. My next thing is to make this a Triple Pickup Les Paul and go from there with built in effects, a built in TUNER, and coil splitters. I want to learn how to do EVERYTHING. The feeling you get when you plug in the guitar in for the first time is AWESOME – a great sense of accomplishment – there is nothing like it. And then you get to play it ALL THE TIME and I know I did all the wiring and controls and it sounds GREAT – WOW. YOU CAN DO IT – I DID IT – here is PROOF that I DID IT by myself. Thanks StewMac

I’m playing a small blues with my Epiphone Standard with Gibson 490R / 498T pickups. I used the neck 490R pickup.

check this: www.guitarmaniacs.de (6-saitig)_Gibson_Les Paul Custom I hope I can help you identify copies, please read more here: The facts: No trussrod (that makes the guitar actually wothless), this Zakk Wylde Logo on the headstock has 4 rings on the guitar (original has only 3),Epiphone guitars usually don’t have a ‘limited edition’-logo, some of those guitars got very poor workmanship, especially the milling,poor quality wood, very cheap electronic parts, cheap hardware (exept tuners), a thick neck,exact tuning almost impossible, the neck is painted – differently than typical Zakk Wylde design wich has no clear paint on it, wrong serialnumber immitationstyle (on Gibson fakes) , many times a wrong colour (for example white colour, Epiphone/Gibson doesnt make ZW in white, or red-white), trussrod cover badly punched and has a double-writing, on Gibson copies the neck the neck is not from a piece, sometimes the wrong knobs (from carmoflage style), screws on Gibson PU’s copies are in gold instead of black asthe original, the lacquer on the Gibson fake is acrylic paint (original is nitro lacquer), the wheigt is around 4kg (a bit heavier than Epi and slightly lighter than Gibson), tuner look similar than original, As long as some people are selling his copy (around 150-250$ )as a copy it might be understandable (still illigal), but more and more people try to fool us and selling Epiphone fakes as originals..not in China where they have been produced (they sell them as copies …

Old Hickory Gibson Les Paul guitar This guitar was played “as is” with no prior set up. It held it’s tune very well, considering the age of the original strings. Gibson to Build 200 Guitars from Historic Tree July 10, 1998 — Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Musical Instruments, announced today that Gibson will build up to 200 “Old Hickory” guitars using a historic tree that was downed at The Hermitage during the tornado that ravaged Nashville in April, making national headlines. The Hermitage, home of President Andrew Jackson, suffered extensive damage in the storm, especially the loss of a 275-year-old tulip poplar tree – a state record holder in age and size, and already an old tree when Andrew Jackson lived at The Hermitage from 1804 to 1845. Gibson has teamed up with The Hermitage to secure the fallen tulip poplar tree and produce the highly collectible guitars. Each one features Andrew Jackson’s portrait inlaid on the headstock, the name “Old Hickory” inlaid on the hickory fretboard, and a portrait of The Hermitage mansion on the pick guard. Three special guitars will have a mother-of-pearl banner inlaid on the body, highlighting key dates in the life of Jackson and The Hermitage. The first “old Hickory” guitar will be given to the Smithsonian Institution and the rest will be made available to the public, with proceeds going to support The Hermitage restoration. While no price has been set for the guitars, one collector estimates that they will cost “a …
