I've only had my Les Paul Personal for a little over a year, but it's quickly become one of my favorites also. My wife & I spent about three days in Arkansas last April. It would have been fun to see your museum had I known about it!

 

Grog,

Next time you are in the area, do come by and see my guitar museum. I wouldn't suggest someone make a special trip from out of state, but if you are driving though central Arkansas then drop in.

Hello Bence and Grog. Glad you like my Les Paul, I think it's a beauty too.

I have a little guitar museum in Arkansas and it's a favorite of mine.

Here are a couple of more photos and a YouTube video.

I have something unusual on my 1970 Gibson Les Paul Personal. It has the normal gold-plated pickup rings, but also has black plastic "Goof Rings." When I looked to see what was hidden underneath the rings I found extra holes. It looks like Gibson had drilled pilot holes at the wrong location for the screws to go into the body and then redrilled the holes at the correct spots. You can tell screws were never screwed into these pilot holes because they are very tiny in diameter, but are almost 1/2" inch deep.

I think the goof rings look pretty good.
