• 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!

Also sorry to slightly derail this thread, but talk of volutes etc......

I have what I believe to a a ‘69 335. Did the semis follow the same pattern?

I have no volute, nothing, not even a baby one. One piece neck. No Made in USA stamp. Open b and o in Gibson. No dot over the I. The guitar is virtually mint, completely original and I’m the third owner.

Just wondered if it was possibly a ‘68? I have tried on numerous occasions to try to read the pots and I just can’t.

Cheers,
Rob
