Hey everyone, I used to be on here some, but haven't owned a Les Paul in a few years. I need input on dating a Les Paul Custom that a friend asked me to help sell. It belonged to his brother, who sadly passed from dementia last year. They found this guitar with a couple more, as well as a few amps and other things they didn't even know that he owned, and my friend is having to liquidate the estate.
Here's what I know for sure about this guitar:
Serial #17279
"2" stamped above serial#
Pancake body
3-piece neck
Waffleback tuners
T-Top pickups
"Fretless Wonder" frets
Witch hat knobs
Original black finish
Small volute
My tech couldn't read any dates from the pots. He did have to replace the bridge tone pot, as it was frozen.
I sent Gibson an inquiry, but they want some info that I just don't have. There is nothing paperwork wise with this guitar.
Any help is appreciated!
