Hello Experts,
need your help again. I can have this Les Paul Custom for a good price. It has some missing parts but appears to be solid all in all. For me its a Player and no collector's item but it would be nice if we can figure out its year and if its legit at all.
Appearance:
- not original PUs
- one pot reads 68 another pot 70. Two other pots not readable
- Gibson Logo WITH dot and open o and b but the neck has a volute
- Dot is quite low above the i. Never seen this kind of Logo on a late 69-70 LPC. Looks a bit like the 54 era Logo tho..
- refinished and serial not readable anymore
- binding replaced along the neck (see colour difference around the 3rd fret)
- also not sure if there was a "made in USA" stamp
- However Top Carve appears to me as dish not as Norlin Dome
- missing scratch plate
- changed knobs
- vintage Tailpiece
- ABR-1 with wire
- Neck looks like one piece
I brightened some of the pictures to provide more details.
Has anyone a suggestion? Late 69 or early 70?
Every Idea is very welcome!
