Seabee Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I'm am looking at a 1957 reissue black beauty custom 2 pickup all original. It has one small chip on the back on the top. It also has Les Paul's signature on the pick guard but please include what you think about his autograph assuming its real. He is asking 4,000. It looks like all the gold is in good condition. I'm also going to search forum I just joined but please post your opinions. Serial # is 7 4933 Thank you in advance. I expect to look at it this week.
Twang Gang Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I can't see any signature at all on the pickguard in this photo? When you look at it make sure it is a one piece all mahogany body. Looks pretty good overall, but I am not an expert on the prices. A new one is shown at $6,999 on the Gibson site so price may be reasonable. You'll just have to play it and see if it sounds like $4K to you.
Seabee Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 I know this is a dumb question but how do I know if its 1 piece mahogany. Thanks for getting back to me.
kidblast Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 I guess it would be hard to see the seam with an opaque finish like that.
