I'll take my BB Pros over my P90s. Tone and lack of noise wins with me. I still like P90s but, you have to except the rawness you get with them.

tell me about that Gibson LP Recording if you could. Don't know much history on those & don't think ever saw one in person that i can recall.
I have never seen one either

Adrian is your Recording high input or low input? I understand Les Paul was into low input on his LPs.

LEs Paul Recording guitars are --- amazing for ---well Recording-- which I dont do -- but they are still an iconic odd and rare bird
uniqueguitar.blogspot.com
THis is one of the most precise and informative articles on the model
through much research mine seems to be a first run -- with "innerds" dating '69 and '70 ---so the folks I spoke to at Gibson and George Gruhn himself--guestimated it was a late 70's build for a 71 launch --so one of the first of the first ---
IT weights a ton-- and is truly a pleasure to play --- though much of the funky electrics is lost IMHO when going through an amp-- this was designed to record-
IT is one of the cleanest sounding guitars ever ---pure signal--- then you "funk" with it from the amp--pedals or board ---
to own it is a pleasure --- I have wanted one since I was a kid ----and for those not initiated into the long tale------Im a flipper -- I started with a couple cheap guitars and an amp my wife FOUND in a rubbish pile of a family that had moved or been evicted (it was in 3 pieces) I rebuilt it--and started buying damaged stuff fixing it and flipping it for profit
I was some what successful--- and then one day found the LPR at Jimmys Vintage Music in AUburndale Fl--and I had to make my move -- I wouldnt spend the $ he was asking for it
I did have a pile of gear that on "paper" totaled more than his asking price (I didnt have that "in" on it) and so
I loaded down a 99 Subaru and off I went.........
and I came back with this
all original --- beauty in original (though battered) case
A pure joy to play
IF you ever get a chance --- do try one out --- its a rare bird for sure

I played one back in the late seventies through a SF twin from that era. It was a brown one. You got a nice one. I guess the one I played is considered rare.
They are definitely rare to me! I have never seen one up close and personal!

there arent many "in the wild" -- I cant find exact figures for production (Gibson/Norlin were apparently HORRIBLE at record keeping)
the body is NOT exactly a standard les paul-- it has a belly cut on the back -- its wider than a regular lester it will fit but its "tight" to get it in a modern Epi or Gibbo les paul case--
