  1. Looks like a Chibson to me……….
  2. There are two on Reverb now that look pretty much the same. They are listed as 40th Anniversary models. One is $1,650. The other $2,000. Not that they are selling for that, the $2,000 guitar has been listed for a year……… $600 could be a flag.
  3. The VG Price Guide lists it between $2,250 & $3,000. Most sellers likely will list them higher……
  4. Looks to be an early, around ‘72 seventies EB-0L. They went to a three point bridge about ‘73. From the photo it looks worth restoring.
  5. The day before I got married Lynyrd Skynyrd’s plane crashed. I was too busy to watch the news so didn’t even hear about it till days later.
  6. The shape of the cutaways would be different in a 1960 VS a later sixties ES335. They refer to the earlier shape a “Mickey Mouse Ears”. Not to mention nickel hardware VS chrome & a late sixties would have “Witch Hat” knobs VS reflector knobs. Here is a photo of my 1967 ES335.
  7. On the "Les Paul Forum", there is a member who was a Gibson employee I believe at this time who likely will have your answer. Nice guitar!! Where are they now... | The Les Paul Forum P.S. The thread is a few pages back in the “Other Gibsons” topic………
  8. The Kalamazoo plant was union. The Nashville and all plants after that I believe were non-union.
  9. Try a Gator GW-335 case at a store like Guitar Center. They seem to have a longer headstock pocket, (at least they do in their Les Paul cases) and they are easy to modify if necessary. I had to add 3/4” on the bottom & it worked well………..
  10. I ended up dragging this Wiggy amp home after seeing it on Craigslist for way too long. It was supposedly designed in collaboration with Frank before he passed & then Dweezle was said to help finish it. I guess the head is suppose to look like Franks Corvette dash. It’s an oddball for sure……..
  11. This was a photo I had on file from another topic.
  12. The headstock rests on the bottom of the case.
  13. Another example of a lousy rectangular Gibson HSC from the early seventies. The neck rest is literally a solid block of foam……
  14. I’ve bought this 69’ Les Paul used 50 years ago & have always been concerned about the OHSC. The tuners would hit the bottom of the case. I was able to lift the neck with a thick piece of felt & that seemed to solve the issue & doesn’t react with the finish. Gibson cases have come a long way from cases like this & the old Archcraft cardboard cases.
