      @Bill:

      regardless of which guitar you buy take one-to-one lessons, at least to begin with - saves developing a lot of bad habits and can be inspiring.

      Yep, I'll be taking lessons, one on one. There are several local instructors who look very good.

        I'm sitting here with no knowledge of playing a guitar, but I am overwhelmingly convinced by the arguments above, that in your case (seeing as you appear to be pretty ambidextrous) that going right hand is the way to go….

            consider this "liked".

              Learning to play right handed has to be the right answer, if only for this reason:
              @xtcclassic:

              Just remember that if you learn to play right-handed, you will never suffer the pain of not being able to own your dream guitar because it isn't available left-handed.  😉

                Macari's on Denmark Street have a decent collection of Les Pauls in stock. This is the window, although the Telecaster style guitar is a James Trussart.

                The Great Wall of Pauls! :o

                I don't normally like pre-aged guitars, but this one was really cool. It's one of five (I think) that Gibson produced for their top retailers in the UK.

                  Got the IHxVox amp for Christmas, it works, perfect as a practice amp, no need for something bigger or something else. Its a great gimmick for home.

                            Cant believe I just now discovered this thread. After looking through the whole thread, I thought I'd share too. Here's what I've been working with lately:


                            90's Japanese Fender Jazzmaster


                            Epiphone Riviera with a bigsby and filtertron copy pickups


                            Also, here's my amp and board set up.

                              I took a look in one of the local music shops today. They have a decent collection of Les Pauls in stock.

                              The last image is of a Custom Shop Les Paul with a long scale. It was very nice, and the guy on the counter's favourite guitar.

                                      Very cool! What’s the story with the pick ups? The split coil looks cool.

                                        I just installed the bridge pickup this weekend, it’s a Kinman noiseless humbucker-sized P-90. The neck pickup is a Harmonic Design Z-90. I had the matching bridge pickup but replaced it with the Kinman. Both Harmonic Design and Kinman make fantastic pickups.

                                            @mikebarhoot got to play a vintage ES-125 a while back (not the one pictured unfortunately), can't help but notice it looks similar to the second pic you posted on the WAYWT thread. Nice little collection you got going!
