  1. I believe the pots codes "134808" translates to 1958 8th week. Can't explain the jack in the control cover but folks did wild things to guitars back in 50s thru 70s? The extra jack is far less intrusive than a Bigsby and really reversible if need be. Looks like it was TV finish originally since traces are seen in the control cavities, but it doesn't look bad as a cherry finish. The trussrod cover, bridge, and volume/tone knobs is modern. Again folks did odd things before Ebay put these guitars on the radar, meaning now these vintage LPs have a worldwide price and recognition. The Grovers are a welcome addition that won't retract in many circles (players preferred). It's great that the p90 pups seem to be originals and the control harness less one capacitor. My 1958 LP Special doesn't have the shock ring under the switch but has the poker chip as many 58's did. Nice player!
  2. I'd take it to a good luthier and see what they say?
  3. Dot fret markers, pointed horn, no rear switch mount hole or cover, catilevered body over neck heel, to name a few differences! I can't believe anyone would have altered this guitar from its original specs and "cremona" sunburst! This guitar was to most unlikely conversion candidate to Burst' !!

  6. The neck look Gretsch also in the binding so maybe someone added a vintage Gibson script headstock veneer? I've only seen Dynasonic pups on Les Paul's personal 1952 GT in the neck possision.
