• 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!

Better late than never to the conversion party, no?

Imagine if the seam was just a half inch closer to the treble side...


I’m really digging the thing, I forgot what real PAF/PAT#’s were like.

Thanks ya.

Here’s the parts rundown:

50s Grovers
50’s TRC
Purple wire Pat#/PAF’s both reading about 7.9k, Covers are repro
Early 60’s pat# nickel ABR, repro posts and wheels
50’s Junior tailpiece and studs, repro bushings
50’s knobs
Creamtone harness with real Bees.
Pickguard, Pokerchip, Pickup rings and Switchtip are RetroSpec
BackPlates are MojoAxe.


I have late 50’s Thumbwheels on the way, so I think I’m done after that. I don’t see dropping anymore $$$$ into her, unless some 50’s bushings and ABR posts turn up, and even then, I’m not sure I’d even go that far surgery wise.
