I have a ’79 Les Paul, and one of the buttons on the machine heads has come loose. I would like to replace the whole set, but I’m having trouble finding a replacement that is vintage nickel with nickel buttons. It seems like all they make now are pearloid. Does anyone know where I can find these? I live in Tampa, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to find this online somewhere. Otherwise, does anyone know a good bonding agent to get this thing stuck back on. It’s my low E string, so there’s a good deal of tension when you turn it…

I know Les Paul’s always have what they call “medium jumbo”, but I don’t know if Gibson used a smaller fret size similar to what Fenders used on their guitars in the 50′s. I’ve never been able to see or feel a real Gibson ES-150 or a vintage L-5. I think the newer L-5 models and ES-175 have frets similar to a current Les Paul.

i want the ones with the best tone and feel
i play rock and metal no jazz or country
I don’t refuse to play jazz or country, I just started playing a week ago and right now i’m just learning simple riffs and songs. Rock and metal are just my prefered genre to play right now. I just wanted the strings that matched the best with what genre I play the most of.

It is a 1978 Les Paul Standard. My father is the original owner and he barely touches it, so it is mint condition. Thanks!

I am ready to upgrade to a Les Paul model, after spending several years with an SG (Gibson). I’ve done a lot of searching, and the two I’ve narrowed it down to are: The Classic and the Classic Antique (Vintage Sunburst for either). I want to get a very Slash-Like tone, so I’m going to get some Seymour Duncans to put on it. Which whould give me the better tone? Thanks!
Thanks, but I’m selling my SG and buying with that and any other dough I can gather up. $3,400 is WAY too much.

I purchased this used in 1980 from my Uncle who sang in bars in Northern Michigan. It’s mint and quite unique, yet to see another Les Paul copy that looks like this one.

Got it second hand for just under £1000 on ebay, honest sounding seller. play tested it, it sounds awesome, has the classic vintage tuners, they have gibson deluxe on them, the headstock has ‘made in usa’ with an 8 digit code stamped on the back. the tone and volume knobs are alligned straight not diagonal, the truss rod cover has 2 screws not 3 and there is a nut underneath it.

TBH there is nothing that indicates this is a fake guitar but i just get paranoid, here is a link to the pics
