Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
When did the Les Paul Custom revert back to the thin binding in the cutaway? My 1995 LP Custom has the thin binding. Didn't the Standart revert back like in 2002 or something?
Here's a comparison pic contrasting the binding on two Norlin Customs. The guitar on the left is a Cherry '73, the guitar on the right is a Black '76... Note the thinner binding on the '73...
Mid '75 is the beginning of the wide binding. Not sure when they went back to thin tho.
