  1. That serial number has been on many fake Gibsons. My guess is that this guitar is a copy. Look closely, you can see issues even in this small pic. Google that serial number. Here’s a link to a member asking about a goldtop with the same number. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/64039-help-is-this-a-real-les-paul-standard/
  2. Oh, you're talking to me! No, Wildwood calls that 'dark vintage natural '. It's a very thin nitro finish. BTW, it has a nylon nut too. Stays in tune very well.
  3. I just got a 335 with the MHS pups, the Wildwood spec 1963 ES 335. It is my understanding that the Wildwood spec pick ups are under wound but I haven't checked them yet. However, I really like the sound of the MHS humbuckers. They have a sweet sound, lots of chime, and seem to cover a lot of tonal territory. Edited to add: I just checked my MHS pups and they read at 7.9 to 8.0 at the jack.
  4. Just wanted to say that is one awesome collection of guitars you have, I am envious.

  5. Buy one from Stratosphere, put whatever you want on it.
  6. I believe the 50's prices did not include a case either and that includes the 59 burst. I take all my guitars to gigs in bags anyway. All I'm saying is that it's a non-issue for me personally.

    I didnt consider buying one at the time because they didnt have a proper finish IMO.

    Weren't these the forerunner to the LP Studio line?

    They made a Les Paul Firebrand too if I remember correctly. I think this was the bargain line at the time. It was almost half the price of the higher end stuff. It was probably supposed to be entry level stuff like the Juniors were in the 50's.
  10. My VOS 1960 LP Special has a similar number: 0 1453 The first number is the model 0=1960 The second number is the year it was made 1=2011 My guess based on your serial # is that you have a 1963 model made in 2007, is that possible?
  11. Juniors rock! I've had this 59 for 30+ years. But, got nervous playing out with it and got a few substitutes, a 2006 custom shop And another 2011 model. These things sound better than almost any guitar I own.
  12. Are you planning to do leave it bare or do something like an oil finish?
  13. What Stein says; I pull on strings, a low E close to the edge is not a problem and i prefer that as well.
  14. I'm guessing it's a 2000 if you take the first and fifth digits. I. Also guessing that the 1990's start with a 9.
