I recently acquired a 71 Les Paul that is on of the 1958/1954 reissue. I got it from a friend locally. It's really a great playing guitar (and heavy). Anyway it's far from original and got a effective but ugly heard stock repair. Besides that it's missing the original bridge, the bridge pickup is routed for a humbucker, and it's got grovers on it. I'm not really worried about value because I intend on keeping it.
I'm thinking of trying to get a bit closer on how it was set up. First, It has an period correct P90 but not original bridge P90 that is included. However I believe I'll need to get some goof rings for it to cover the route. These are proving harder to find than I thought.
Second, it's got a badass bridge on it. It works and sounds great but I just hate the look of it. I was looking at a pigtail or mojoaxe wrap bridge for it.
I guess I could get another pick guard and have it cut to fit the P90 and humbucker, get a cover for the humbucker and make it look the the "Snatch" guitar.
Any advice or direction would be appreciated!
