Gibson dg 335 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Can anybody tell me what year this les Paul standard is?
BigKahune Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 . Something is missing. My crystal ball is clouded. . .
Jon S. Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Can anybody tell me what year this les Paul standard is? We'd need pics and a serial # to help.
pippy Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 We'd need pics and a serial # to help. Jon S' above post was his #1959. I wonder if that's an omen?............................... P.
Alan Blackburn Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 No. It's Mr. Blackburn's '63 LP. I'm pleased you're still able to have a laugh at my expense. How can I convince you all that my original request for help was genuine? I know, you were all correct. I have had an appraisal done of the wreck and it is indeed not a "burst". Not sure that you needed to be quite so hostile about it mind!!! It is however, a fine guitar with a long-neck tenon, decent humbuckers, lovely (though) damaged maple cap, lovely though damaged mahogany body, etc etc. The thing that is wrong, as pointed out by a number of you, was the headstock. After taking off the finish, it clearly isn't a Gibson, no wings, logo slightly out, tuners ok, but the serial number came off with the stripper!!! Ah well, the matter is now in the hands of the police who advise that I don't expose the miscreant publicly. I intend to scrape the cap and body and improve the look of the wreck and will post pictures of the work on this site, if anyone is interested, together with my collection. Sorry to have highjacked this post but the opportunity was presented to me by "btoth76". Thanks.
btoth76 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Mr. Blackburn! I had no intentions to insult anyone. It was just a joke! Please, take it as it is. A "'63 Les Paul" is quite funny a statement. Even the great Randy Rhoads thought and told publicly that His cream LP Custom was a '63 model - which we all know, is not possible to be. Best wishes... Bence
