• 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!

w/ extra hardware!


A player's guitar.

So here's what you need to know:


A strong Jimmy Page vibe.
All the period-correct case candy.
VOS-level pickup covers, tailpiece and pick guard bracket aging.
Nice worn-in 1959 neck
Low action no buzzing or fret-out anywhere, neck in perfect shape.


One micro chip in the finish on the bottom side edge (photo shows it)
One little scruff and scratches on case (shown in photo)
NOTE: the photo showing the body back --that is a big light reflection not a scratch!

Proper "bumble bee' pickups



I shot this is various outdoor lighting to give you and idea of the flame and color variance from different angles and light.


Although i give you the original Kluson tuners and Tune-O-Matic (knife-edge) bridge, this has been GREATLY improved with:

- Grover 18:1 tuners
- a Schaller roller bridge.
This bridge means BEND all you want – with no string breaks.
It means longer singing sustain, too.

- Nut has been cut to follow string direction so no bind ups ever.
- a Jimmy Page style custom braided leather strap

This strap is by far the most comfy strap for a 1959 weight guitar ever.
Plus I give you extra braids to replace or extend it all you like.



This simply drips and oozes old classic looks and sound.


I'm now playing almost all acoustic music now so I want this to go to an actual reverent player and lover.
