Ok so this post one is a long time coming. I have a early 50s (54) Lester that was renecked early on in its life. Without naming any names, one prominent expert on all things LPs who worked on it told me the neck was likely a 1959 neck. Another person; a collector who knows a crapload about these guitars said "maybe, maybe not". The SN and other markings verify it a 54 body. I have had this guitar many years and I always wondered if the work was done at Gibson, is there a record of it? and more importantly, how would I go about verifying such a thing? BTW I have played tons of LPs, and this guitar has something very magical about it, so I can see where the love for old Les Pauls is something that s way beyond a craze or fad. Any help would be appreciated in this quest. Thanks
