MrPoobah Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Any of you guys into old school? vintage specs? Fat necks, sunbursts, PAFs, lets see em!
kidsmoke Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 2012 with Lindy Fralin PAF's and 50's thick neck profile. 10# capped slab of tone.
bolero Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 it's a '94, so a medium neck, but I suppose it's vintage spec otherwise? Wolfetone Legend PAF's Pigtail steel studs & inserts lightweight aluminum tailpiece ABR-1 bridge cherry sunburst it is a killer H150

MrPoobah Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Freaking gorgeous. Am I weird for thinking they look best with a pick guard? I would consider vintage spec to be anything that would have been found stock on a 50s LP. Fat neck, sunburst, gold, or black top, paf pickups, 50s wiring, etc.
tbonesullivan Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Ahhh.. the brother from another mother. or the same mother. Big beefy neck, bigger than any of my other heritages. SD '59 pickups (long leg). Sunsetburst finish. Tophat knobs, vintage amber switch tip. mmmmm good.
kidsmoke Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 STOP with the sunsetburst's will ya?!?!!?!? I DON'T NEED ANOTHER 150!!!! (do i?)
tsp17 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 forgot to mention: this one has a nice beefy 50's style neck (by my estimation) and Seth Lover pickups. you can see the vintage style tuners.
SouthpawGuy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Mine has vintage style Klusons. Does that count ? .
SouthpawGuy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 ... one piece solid mahogany body. No holes drilled in it for weight relief or chambering or other such things. And it still only weighs 8.2lbs Ok I'll stop now
redshark Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 So you say vintage specs means a big neck? that is a MYTH!!! I had seen real late 50's Les Pauls and they don't have the big necks that people think they have. Real 59 neck is a no shoulder rounder shape neck but not as deep as what people think and even the 58 is still same kinda round profile but not deep!! I remember those REAL late 50's les pauls having neck only a tad deeper than the early 90's les paul classic which was supposed to be a 60's neck!!
fxdx99 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 ... one piece solid mahogany body. No holes drilled in it for weight relief or chambering or other such things. And it still only weighs 8.2lbs Wow - might be setting a record there. What year? And did you order with a spec on weight?
SouthpawGuy Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Wow - might be setting a record there. What year? And did you order with a spec on weight? I bought it used, it's a 2003 guitar. First thing I did when I received it was take the control cover off to check if it was an LW model. I weighed it more than once, several times actually, and checked the digital scale. My 137 is heavier at 9lbs. Luck of the draw maybe, or perhaps the original owner specified a lighter guitar
