Hi there Horand.

 

Thanks for the links. Informative. Especially the plaque. As I've mentioned, I'd never seen a cursive version so I've learned something new today.

 

So; it's either a KM with the speed-knobs swapped for hat-boxes or a Standard less covers and an added plaque?

 

I agree the KM theory is now looking more likely - although I'm still not 100% sure of the horn-shape.........lol!

 

Thanks again for your input.

Hello! I Know I'm late to the forum but wanted to see if anyone had input.

I'm looking at buying my first electric (historically intermittently play acoustic) and will be meeting someone to look at a 1980 Les Paul S.M. this weekend. For an electric I'm not sure what to look for with the bridge or when I take the panel off the back. Do you have any suggestions?

It's in excellent original condition with a little wear on the 1st fret board. Does fret board wear impact the playability of an electric? If so how substantial and is it costly to repair? I'm really set on buying a great condition vintage Gibson for my electric player and was previously looking at an ES until I found this. ThanKS in advance for the advice!!
