I have been speaking with Gibson directly for 2 days here is the latest :
[FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]"Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to authenticate this as a Gibson product due to the modifications. The 50’s Les Paul Custom model indeed had a mahogany top on top of a mahogany body."
I am still waiting for pictures of a 50s LPC with the top visible, from anyone anywhere who can find one. Add to that a picture of an ALL MAHOGANY LES PAUL CUSTOM MADE FROM 1 PIECE, find and show me proof of this. I have not seen one picture of one, nor have I seen one in real life, and Gibson DIRECTLY answered my question right from the source.
This is not over!
