This is a thread from 2012! Please check date before posting.

Why - has the significance of a 1969 Goldtop Les Paul changed during the course of three years?

I still refer to my original copy of Tom Wheeler's American Guitars - published in 1982 - and it's relevancy has not diminished a bit.

We're discussing vintage guitars here - and I don't see why digging up an old thread is a problem.

Sorry to derail on my first post, but, are you really Yngwie Malmsteen?

If so, i recently have become friends, with Kenny Baker. He had a really good go on my number one, this past summer (playn out in WPB) Not surprising how great his chops are considering who he works for. :dude:

Hope to meet you soon,

Jeff


Yes my friend, you have discovered the truth. Now Shred is exposed for all the world to see. Also, I am a Butterball™© Turkey. Oh wait! Maybe Shred is Chewy Valvestem...

Except that for the purposes of the LPF Vintage Les Paul section, this isn't a 1952-1960 Les Paul.

:salude

Yes - I'm aware that this is the 1952-1960 Les Paul section, and realize that the initial post from 2012 should not have been here. TW also noted that in one of his replies from three years ago.

I was only responding to JJ Jones' comment suggesting that there is something wrong with posting to an old thread. :dude:

Just a quick response:
I think you're talking about the goldtop in Belgium/Netherlands.
If so it has been converted to P90's, with conversion rings.
It is a three piece neck with a bigger headstock.

I bought a 58 junior from that guy, in general a nice person.
His guitars however have, most of the time, some issues. They always seem to have some non-original parts.
My junior for instance has a replacement nut and pots. I restored it, but you need to check them out.

Greetings.
Dag

:lol

If only that were true.... But sadly no. I am not Yngwie or Chewy Valvestem, although they both sound like fine gentlemen :biggrin:

Strangely, I have also been mistaken for Buckethead on this forum in the past... I'm sorry to disappoint... The internet lends itself to conspiracy theories I suppose :hmm

Ah, my bad, sorry. I recently became friends with Kenny Baker IM's personal, road guitar tech. We play out some times here in WPB FL, when he is in town.(He is in Stuart Florida up the road from me) He promised me a 'night out with the boys' soon, so I thought i was going to 'be clever' jump ahead of him by meeting him (who I thought was you) first on this thread. :laugh2:

I actually have some iphone video of Kenny shredding some, on my number 1 Les Paul, into my Vintage 67 moded 6L6 DR (cranked to 1:00) and Klon. The guy is a frEAK of a geetar player! I will try to find and post.

No harm done... If you can get Yngwie to join the LPF, I think that would be awesome... :dude:

I was referring to the post above mine about "go see it".
I am sure the guitar is sold by now.
