Re: Best Les Paul
Fifty I have found that Orville, Orville By Gibson and some mid 80s Greco's with long tenon necks to be VERY good buys for the buck . a Gibson dealer friend of mine replaced the pickups in my Orville LP and then last week played it live on stage when I lent it to him at a blues jam, I quote from him" Damn, its as good as any Les I have on my wall( in his store) " Included on that wall one R7 and R8

One thing I've heard is the best exports go to Japan. (Makes no sense though)
Can you guys with years of experience playing them give your opinion?
If it's true,when were the last good LP's made? 70's 80's?
