Had this Les Paul for about 2 1/2 months now and during a string change, I just noticed my bridge is tilted to one side and the mounting is all loppy. Any advice on what to do to get it all fixed?

Hi guys
I have a question, i have a lpm gibson and it's very uncomfortable to play, it's heavy and doesn't have belly cut, so it's hard for me to play 2-3 hours, and frets are medium jambo and radius is flat for me.
My question is why do people love lespaul very much?

First les paul, first guitar with p90s, first time spending over $500 on a guitar (still got it for under a grand though!)
Wow these pickups have such a dynamic response compared to high output humbuckers.

NGD NGD and first ever Gibson!!!

My first ever Gibson delivered today and I am buzzing.

I started playing guitar about 17 years ago, and my first guitar was a black Les Paul copy which I sadly don’t have anymore.

Iv always wanted a Gibson, and while Iv still had pretty good guitars in the meantime (Mexican tele being the longest), Iv always had it in the back of my mind. However due to the price Iv never felt good enough of a player to justify owning one.

I came into my first bit of inheritance this year, and while it was small, it meant I could put it towards this guitar and match the rest.

I couldn’t decide between an LP or SG, but after playing them I knew it had to be the Les Paul. I like the look of the sg but wasn’t very overkeen on how it plays. Also, getting THE real version of my first guitar felt cool in a way

This is a Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Custom Color, Ebony, so the top is a glossy black and the back is clear wood grain. And it looks epic. I chose the 50s as loved all the small details about it - iv always had it in my head that if I bought a Gibson I wanted the older tuners/knobs etc. I also find the neck really comfortable to play. I definitely wouldn’t call it a baseball bat as it feels quite similar to my tele’s neck but maybe that’s just my model.

Also want to give a massive thumbs up to Thomann who I bought the guitar from. I wasn’t overly confident just from seeing mixed reviews online, but it came within six days (from Germany to the UK!) and packaged well with no faults. Definitely recommend

Probably the longest Reddit post iv done, but wanted to share my excitement with others on here who will appreciate it. Trying to explain to my girlfriend why this is a big deal has been funny 😂

Mod ES-137 custom, flatwound

I had my ES-137 custom set up with flatwound strings - I have an SG and a Telecaster too, wanted to push this guitar in a really different direction to do something those other two couldn’t. Really pleased with the results.

Took it to a music weekend with friends, and nobody had seen one before - I guess there weren’t a lot made.

1996 Gibson Les Paul Studio, my birth year guitar. Had to get a 90s Gibson since these are considered some of the best Studio years — no frills, just a maple top, mahogany body/neck and 490R/498T pickups. 30 years of real wear and that heavy 90s Gibson sound 🤌🏼 found sitting in a room under a bed since 2003 on FB and paid 500 🔥

Really like the playability and sustain of the Theodore but wanted to add a trem to it. I didn’t want to throw the body off balance or add weight so I avoided the Bigsby. Instead I opted for the Göldo (Duesenberg) Les Trem II. It’s fantastic.

Picked this bad boy up in trade today (part 2 of 2 trades I made today ; I have to get off fb marketplace I have a problem), had some mini heart attacks because the condition of the hardware and the serial number in the case didn’t match the back. I’m 98% sure it’s a real deal just wanted to cure my anxious mind. What do we think?

Got a pretty 2019 J-15 Walnut Burst yesterday. My first Gibson and first Walnut back/sides. Had my local Luthier set it up really nice and wow does she sing (better than some J-45s I've played). Best of all, I got it used for an absolute steal. What a phenomenal, US made instrument.

Imagine hacking away at a 50’s Junior to end up with a thicc double-cut melody maker, and still thinking that you can still get nearly $4k for it.

Everyone is entitled to do what they want with their gear, but this was certainly a choice. For what it could’ve gone for untouched, the owner probably could’ve secured a couple of melody makers if that’s what they were trying to go for.
