Members fuzztone Posted February 14, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2013 I saw one like this at at local store. It is a "Firebrand" with a chainsaw case. The price is $599. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members harold heckuba Posted February 14, 2013 Members Share Posted February 14, 2013 I have had two of them in the past. I have to say I do like walnut. Talk about fads, mine had those Dirty fingers pups, and nobody wanted those. Now all of a sudden, people give a fortune forthose pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted February 14, 2013 Members Share Posted February 14, 2013 In the late 70s and early 80s they were the LP Studio/poor mans LP of the day. Some were decent, a lot were not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JRicoC Posted February 14, 2013 Members Share Posted February 14, 2013 A "The Paul" was my first real guitar. I bought it used in '83. It was solid, but would not stay in tune. If I had purchased it later in life and with more guitar experience I probably could have set it up or tweaked it to my liking and being useful. I traded it in about a year after I bought it. I've seen many folks say they did not have tuning/stability problems with theirs, so perhaps I just had a lemon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wein Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 This one is mine: I've had it about 15 years. When I got it (for $180) it had a DUncan pickup of some sort that sounded awesome in the bridge and a T Top Gibson pickup in the neck that was terrible. I put the BG Pure 90's in about two years ago and I love it. For about 3 years this was my main guitar even though I never used the neck pickup....

Members EdMan57 Posted February 17, 2013 Members Share Posted February 17, 2013 I had a '79 The Paul a few years back that was pretty nice.I found the stock pickups to be a bit muddy and dark.Swapped them out for Duncan '59 [bridge] and Alnico II [neck] pickups to great results.I eventually sold it to a cute hippie chick that loved Bob Marley.
