• 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!

Nice guitar, guitplayer. Have you considered seeing if a SD Little '59 would fit in that pickguard? You could pull the control circuit intact and build a new one IF the Lil '59 would fit. Put a P/P on there for series/parallel switching.

Comparison of the heel. Would stand to reason that a cherry version
with this heel exists . I`ve not seen one.
Sunburst 64 on right. early 65 left.

This is my first post in this forum. My '65 Melody Maker. It has a lot of mods, refinish, Sperzel locking tuners, SD P90 pickup, but it is a great guitar.
