Hi, new here, and greetings from the land of kangaroos and wombats...
For ages I've been searching for an answer to this question: In 1968 I bought a brand new Les Paul Custom which had no "Les Paul" written anywhere on the body. The truss rod plate had just "Custom" written on it.
I know it was an authentic Gibson because I damaged the neck pickup and had to send the guitar to the 'Gibson people' in Sydney (I ive in Adelaide, some 800 odd mls from there) because in those days they were the only people authorised to repair Gibson guitars, or had the spare parts to do this. Well, two weeks later, to my delight, the guitar arrived back with a new pickup installed.
Does anyone know anything about this particular peculiar model?
Cheers,
Mauri Berg.
