• 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!

A friend of mine just picked up this 60 refin. Does anyone know anything about this one?

Has he had t for a long time?

If not, maybe it has been photographed before. The grain lines will be distinctive, so maybe someone can find older pics and history.
I don't remember seeing it in my part of "the Bible Belt". :hmm

It was pictured in the vintage guitar mag, the one with Garcia on the cover. I was on the last pages readers gallery.

That's great and all, but what about the guitar?? :)

Did he buy it from Mike's Music? If so I played that guitar, had a thin neck and played/sounded great. The refin was well done too.

I hate to be "that guy"......but I thought that the tp studs, when lined up, would make a line hitting both knobs...that's how I've always told the difference between a real burst photo, and a reissue photo. Can someone school me?

The later '60 Bursts were "straightened".
