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!
Adding 01475 content from LeftyGuitarist after the 2012 auction, sold for $134,500:
This 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in sunburst finish (serial number 01475) was being sold at the same auction event as the 1959 lefty Gibson Les Paul sunburst, also in this list.
It is one of only two 1960 left handed Gibson Les Paul sunburst Standard models ever made; the other being owned by Sir Paul McCartney.
The guitar had had a Headstock break and had been professionally repaired by Gibson Custom Shop specialist Tom Murphy; everything else was original to the guitar. There was one odd route in the bridge position because of the left-handed construction; also moderate weathering and fret wear. The original hard case was included in the sale.
