Hi guys- Just got this great 1969 Les Paul Custom to play out and record with. I really like it; I have several 1950's Customs, both 3 pickup and alnico models that I totally love. I sold a 1968 Custom with a repaired head stock a couple of years ago, and really miss it, so I figure that this refin would be the best way for me to get a quality 2 humbucker "player" (refin) 1960's Custom without breaking the bank. Plus, this one has had a great refret and looks "real." The binding is nice and yellowed and the paint job was done by a pro. I added aftermarket '70s style witch hat knobs until I can find a nice set with gold inserts. Otherwise, this is all original and a killer guitar. Not too heavy either.
My question might seem silly, but, how can one tell if a '60s black custom has a one piece neck and body? Also, knowing this is a refin and that the fonts on those serial numbers on these guitars can be difficult to read even without a refin, what do you guys think of the serial number font on this guitar? There is some white waxy residue left inside the number from when the guitar was cleaned/polished after refin and before it was sold to me. No volute and no "Made in USA." Thanks for taking a look at my guitar, guys.
