Know anything about these guitars? I saw one of these(Les Paul shape) at my friends store yesterday. They told me it is a 1980. The guyin Timbuk 3 used to play one,lol.
Mike Scott played a "The Paul"(same guitar but made of walnut instead of mahogany)

A friend of mine 'the Paul' for years and it weighed a TON! The thing was so out of balance your left arm started to ache if you played it too long. It set up well and was definitely Gibson quality (whatever that means) and played well if you were sitting down. Great tone and resonance because it was solid block of wood but not easy to manage because of the weight. He sold it for more than he paid for it too.

Played a firebrand SG once, loved it but they wanted way to much for it. and also i dont like that the input jack is on the bottom instead of the front.
I almost bought one back when I was in college. There was a shop selling one for $250 which seemed liked a pretty good deal. I don't remember it being heavier than I expected it to be and I liked the way it sounded. One of my friends wound up buying it because I needed to put my money towards a new computer instead. I think I remember somebody saying that the dirty fingers pickups originated in that guitar.
