Just received my Edwards LP Jr DC, and I love it, so by my count that takes us to...

= 16

And yes, of course MIJ copies count - they're the best sort of Les Paul!

I've been drooling over the Edwards LPs and SGs for a while now.  How's the neck on yours?  I wish they did an SG Special or Jr.

I've got a Hohner Les Paul Goldtop. Lovely guitar, but I miss the twang ;). So I don't use it that much, but ever once in a while I get this les paul hardrock mood and I'm glad I've got a les paul hanging on the wall :)
so +1

It's just a ridiculously good guitar for the money - and at a smidge over 6lbs, nice and light too. The fact that it's only got one pickup is outweighed by the fact that it just sounds so darned good, really full and filthy sounding. It's not the biggest neck I've played, which is the only teensy downer as I like big necks, but it's pretty full. The first five frets are somewhere between a 50's and 60's profile, before fattening up quite nicely from the seventh fret up - this works really nicely: open chords are easy to play, then when you slide up the neck to let rip, it really feels as if you're rolling your sleeves up to get stuck in. Even better (I'm still scared I'm going to get a letter from UK Customs about this...) is that it somehow avoided Customs coming in to the UK: we usually have to pay 22% tax on imported guitars, but this one escaped their attention.

£400 for a single piece mahogany, long neck tenon, nitro finished guitar with Seymour Duncans as standard is just amazing value, in my opinion.

Buy one while you can, they're going to be custom order only soon.

So that's 24 to this point. I've also got a couple of Warmoth LP style guitars: A Les Paul DC and a LP Custom, so thats 26.

Although I've owned a bunch over the years, as old as a '53 Goldtop to as new as a 2003 LE model, I have only one in the racks now.  Oddly enough, it was my first good guitar and I bought it new in '81 (Paul Reed Smith refinned it in '96):

That's a pretty similar setup to mine. A Jazzmaster, a Les Paul, ana acoustic and some pedals into a Boogie.

Yeah, Mesa's sound nice. Mine is a Caliber 50+. I got it cheap through my brother. He's a real Boogie freak. He's got around 10 of them! And over 20 guitars. And now he's building up a crazy effects collection. All the high end EHX stuff; HOG, Holiest Grail, everything. He's nuts.
