jeff68981 Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Went to the pawn shop today and they have a les paul standard goldtop for sale. They insist it is a real 1953 model. I do not believe it. S/n is 061377 can anyone tell me what year it really is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Mac Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 First, if it's in a pawn shop, it's unlikely to be a real '53...especially if it's under $20,000. There's a '53 body, no neck, no pickups, or hardware on Reverb for $10,000. I'd say it's probably a reissue that's at the pawn shop. Good luck!

jeff68981 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yeah they only asking $1500 told them for that price there is no way but they said they will stand behind it being a 1953. Think I will stay clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 The '53 model is extremely easy to identify for several reasons. Pictures, obviously, would help... I sincerely doubt it's even a reissue for $1,500 but you never know. Serial numbers on their own mean diddly-squat. We need more info as to hardware etc. P.
