It was cheap then and although other guitars were far more expensive, this guitar a wonderful loud sound from the body.
The top three frets need to be renewed but I capo up three and all is well. It was a left hooker and tobacco sunburst,does anyone out there know if any of the lefty series les paul copies are still available?
I had a Columbus Les Paul back around when I was a spotty year-old as opposed to a spotty year-old! It was a tobacco sunburst I think and all these years I wondered what became of it as I can't remember when I last saw it.
Then my brother phoned me yesterday to say he'd found it in his attic and has had it cleaned up and the action adjusted. It still works and apparently sounds pretty good. I can't wait to re-acquaint myself with old Columbus though - hopefully get to grips with it next weekend.
Will let you know how it goes! I got one of the black Columbus Les Paul copies when I was in school about 15 years ago. Apparently it had been stuck there for years waiting for someone to fix it up lol. It still works although I am thinking of ripping all the old electrics out of it now and replacing them. Still stays in tune and it's almost as heavy as the real thing! I bought one from a catalogue in around I always thought I had no taste, because to me there wasn't much difference between the sound of my columbus les paul copy and the real thing, but since then I have heard people saying good things about the old columbus.
Now 24 years later groan! I still love it, still feel closer to it than my fender strat, which I have had about 20 years. If You paid 7 quid for the columbus you robed him I have had one from new in I was 16 going on 17 It's paid for itself over and over am fitting a set of Seymour Duncan humbuckers and a roller bridge instead of the tune o matic and a roller nut an fixing a chipe off the head stock and the binding but its the black beauty copy so i might just paint the stock black and pin stripe We're the binding is also have an sg same year and make.
This guitar is fine if you personalise it with diferent pickups, sort the intonation out and good strings but to be honest virtually anything electric guitar wise is fine with a little help. Just pick it up, play it and enjoy. All the best. Circa It plays and sounds amazing and is wholly original. People assume its a Gibson until they see the headstock. Columbus were top end copies in their day and if you ever come across one Id recommend getting it. Machine heads are good quality and intonation spot on.
I also buy via auctions and car boots. A friend recently asked me to restore a Columbus strat copy which was completely knackered. I qouted him for at least for thirty hours work. It was that bad!!!! He said " he could not afford it " so offered it to me for spares. Over christmas of last year I decided to completely restore it purely to test my repair skills, and 55 hours work later it was back to almost new condition.
The big downer was that it would not play in tune above the fifth fret and on checking the intonation it was impossible to set correctly due to the bridge being mounted in the wrong place. Lord knows how he had managed to play it in that state for 17 years and I hate to imagine what the band sounded like!!!! Another friend of mine owns a Jedson from the same period which also had exactly the same fault. Could all these copies have come from the same factory and have been drilled using the same dodgy template?
If you are offered one of these guitars check the intonation first and make sure there is enough adjustment available on the bridge to compensate, otherwise you will have to relocate the bridge. The neck is also incredibly narrow. Not suitable for big thick fingers and the selector switch is only three way. At least they copied that exactly right for the period. Its an interesting guitar from those very early days of brit rock. I have a les paul Columbus that my father bought from England about 30years or so ago, he passed now so I cant get the exact date..
Columbus guitars were made in Japan's Matsumoku factory. I have never seen a Columbus acoustic guitar. I have a left handed Columbus LP in cream. Haven,t played it for about 5 yrs and is ready for a restring but a guitarist mate said it had a good action and sound. Think mine is a Japanese model with gold machine heads etc. I still have it but almost gave it away but so glad I didn't. I hadn't touched it for years until recently and I have to say I'm glad I still have it.
Made in Japan, it' very well put together but the wiring was always a bit hit and miss and could only play with the rhythm switch. I'm going to have a go at repairing it and enjoy playing again. I also forgot how heavy the thing is. It had been upgraded to Dimarzio's by the previous owner and it really is a good sounding guitar which does play really well.
