Does anybody remember seeing an original 1958 Flying V resprayed green back in the day? This would have been 30+ years ago! If anybody does and has a pic that would be even more amazing! It would have had it's original white guard. Any info very much appreciated. Thanks very much!

Here's an interesting 1969 Les Paul Custom. One piece body and neck. Long tenon body route but transitional tenon which is rare and only happened towards the end of 69. 1376852 pot codes. Pick ups are patent sticker but the bridge is an early one without T Top markings so bobbins like a PAF...

That's so useful thanks. You can add my LPC if you want to. 1 piece neck, 1 piece body, long tenon body route but trasnsitional tenon. Early patent sticker pick ups without T's. No dot on i. Serial number 565958. 6852 pot codes.

Here's some more pics inc some blacklight ones. I'll take detailed pics of the whole guitar once I've bought it. It's being sold by a very reputable dealer so I'm sure it's absolutely fine I just haven't seen one with this kind of checking before so just interested for my own education.

Here's a couple of other pics. I took a tuner off in case it helps.

I'm interested in a guitar that has a lot of finish checking only on the back of the headstock. The finish on the back of the headstock also looks more orange peel than the rest of the guitar. The whole guitar checks out under blacklight inc all the cavities and the serial number is still...

I think they may be early pre T Top bobbins maybe still being used up as late as 68/69. I saw another half T Top and half non T Top Gibson pick up on Reverb and other non T Top Patent Sticker pick ups on guitars of this era. But open to other suggestions! A lot of Customs still have covers on so...

Hi I'm hoping for some info on a 1968/1969 Les Paul Custom. The serial number is in the 560000 range. Pots date to 52nd week 1968 with undisturbed solder. It's got a one piece body with what looks like a centre seam. I'm pretty sure it's a one piece neck as there are no signs at all of seams...

Charlie Chandler at Guitar Experience in Hampton Wick Surrey http://ccgx.co.uk/ Charlie has worked on a lot of legendary players guitars over the years. Safe hands.

Mike Mathews (Electro Harmonix) took over production of the Fuzz rite/Foxey Lady from Mosrite in the late 60"s when they went bankrupt so this could be a very early crossover version. I've never seen that style case with the knobs on the end with an Electro Harmonix logo. The Foxey Lady that was...

I produce music for a living and have a complex set up for work but you can make great music with a good laptop (my pref would be a Mac) and Logic Pro. Logic Pro comes with a lot of plug ins, sounds and effects and is pretty easy to learn and is not that expensive for what you get.

Latesixtieslespauls website is brilliant and especially useful now as it seems like these guitars have got very popular in recent times and prices are rising especially for the small headstock one piece neck and body 68 and 69's with long tenon neck joint. But that means people are trying to get...

Has anybody got any pics of the foam or springs that were originally under P90’s on late 60’s Les Pauls? thanks!

Wearing wellington boots and tin foil on your head in a cone shape should fix these issues

Les Paul's especially from the 70's don't suffer from neck dive as the bodies are too heavy and are normally well balanced. That's usually an issue for lighter bodied/heavy neck guitars like the Firebird, Explorer, V etc........The LPC should have Patent sticker T-Tops. 1972 was the only year...
