3 sets? Are you shredding with that Lester? LOL!
IIRC Joe uses 11-52s. I've been using the Ernie Ball coated 11-54 set on my JB gold top and love them! Congrats on the JB burst! Rick B. is one rightious dude!

...thanks RICj`!... yeah!!...RickB is pure Bonacarbon through and through!!... i just hope Obama and Gore dont get to hear about it though... Rick will be handed some hefty discriminate taxation if they do!
... i did`nt like the strings Stan was fitted with straight off... put 10`s on when i got home and the B string broke next day!... not having the time to get to a guitar shop made use of a pack of Ernie 09`s for the time being... action is nearly there now!... the sticky wax coating that was all over the guitar i have buffed off and the neck is getting nice and silky on the back...grain is different as the strings feel like they are rolling instead of sliding when you bend if you know what i mean... just a matter of getting used to it i guess...
...one strange thing i noticed when Stan was going through the x ray machine at the airport... i was watching the image as the guitar went through and saw what i can only describe like... 5 or 6 round discs in the body area where you would sit your right hand while playing... kinda looked like you had some coins in the case under the guitar... but of course there was`nt so these disc`s must have been in the body... anyone know what they are?

Glad you're working Stan in Pete.

Hi Pete, in the trade they call this weight relieving "Swiss Cheese Holes" done on most Les Pauls since the late eighties with the exception of the 58 and 59 re-issues, they were left solid.
Weight-relief started around 1982/1983. Every Gibson USA Les Paul between 1982 - 2007 is weight-relieved. They do not have solid-body construction. Weight-relief is also known as "swiss cheese holes" and refers to the nine holes drilled out of the body in order to reduce the weight of the guitar.
Chambering officially began for 2007 but the late 2006s are also chambered. Any Les Paul made after October 2006 maybe or likely is chambered. Every 2007 and newer Gibson USA Les Paul is chambered, except for the Les Paul Traditional. The Les Paul Traditional has swiss cheese holes. Chambering is essentially hollowing out the body. Again, this is in order to reduce the weight of the guitar.
From the 2007 Les Paul model the bodies are chambered to relieve the weight, unfortunately chambering also changes the way they sound, not to popular with Les Paul buffs.
Anyway back to Stan, when and where can I meet him? I seem to remember a date to go Django nuts with you and him was in the offing a few posts ago!
Have Fun and laugh like it's your first time! You never know you might get to like it!

Re: Bonamassa Gibson LP BonaBurst Registry serial # "JOE B XXX"
Wow. I never suspected that my JB Goldtop may be weight relieved! Mine goes 9 lbs. 3 oz. I heard that the Traditionals were still solid ( I have a '09 Traditional Pro - comes in at 9 lbs. 8 oz.) The Epi LP is the lightweight at 8 lbs. 8 oz. - but that sure does look like solid mahogany under the finish. I had one of the back covers off when swapping in Gibson pups and it looked like solid mahogany all the way thru.
