• 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!

Talk about TeleTuesday! Young Jimmy!

It would probably have been a 1959 or 60, possibly a 61.

If my memory serves, John Owen bought it in England in 61?

It has a slab fingerboard (Fender used this for teles in 59-62) and a bridge drilled for regular (through the body stringing) and top loading. Fender ran out of the drilled for top loading bridges in 61 it seems...

So, 1959 or 60 is likely.

Cool old picture. Thanks.

These gals appear to be a little more, um, lithe than the plaster casters.:wah
