• THIS IS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE LES PAUL FORUM! PLEASE CELEBRATE WITH US AND SUPPORT US WITH A DONATION TO KEEP US GOING! We've made a large financial investment to convert the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and now have to move to a new host. We also 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!
  • WE ARE MOVING THE LES PAUL FORUM TO A NEW HOSTING PROVIDER OVER THE NEXT 5-10 DAYS. We will experience downtime during that period. Please be patient and have confidence that we will return! Many thanks, Mike Slubowski, Admin

If I thought that you were actually in the market I’d tell you. It’s not mine and it’s a private sale. Hardly rocket surgery.

I’ll retire back into the shadows.
Or, as an old gaffer of mine once said " I want you in plain sight, so I can see what the bleedin hell you're up to "

The daft bugger couldn't find me to give me the Spanish for not being up to enough.

Doing any good Pal?

A beauty just posted for sale at Retrofret. 9-1854


$395k. Great flame top. Neck/headstock repair long ago. Stamped factory 2nd. Re-fret and removed bigsby bite. It was featured in Beauty of the Burst, pages 88-89.
Seems burst prices really have moved up the last couple years. Almost $400K for a '59 headstock repaired & bigsby holes.
Also, I think the repairman didn't get quite the right angle on the headstock? It looks like the TRC is too close to the nut for '59 ?

But thanks for posting. :)

It was more expensive a year ago. :)
