    1959-1962 ES 355 quantities

    Does anyone happen to know how many 355s shipped out between 1959 and 1962 (per year)?

    WTB: 1953-57 Les Paul Custom CASE

    Hey everyone, I just got a 56 LPC (dream guitar), but it doesn't have the original case. Looking for an original, mid-50s black LPC case. Thanks!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Wow! Thanks!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Wow. How's the goldtop with the mojoaxe? That's what I would get. My dilemma is that you can probably get a pretty stock 52 or 53 for the same price as a refin alnico custom. And both would be amazing to have.

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Looks amazing. Are those Firebird minihums? What year is yours?

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Yes, I was thinking about a Mojoaxe!

    First 50s Les Paul?

    I bet it's amazing. I'm looking at an original 52 with the case and a refin alnico custom (new case) right now. My number 1 is a 50s alnico custom, but it's a refin. The non-mod originals are just out of my reach now.

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Now THAT's a guitar anyone would take with issues! 57?

    First 50s Les Paul?

    Considering trying to get my first 50s LP. I have 68s, but no 50s. Thinking about a refin BB alnico custom or a 52-53 goldtop. They seem to be in the same ballpark. I've always wanted a 50s custom. Anyone have any thoughts? Better to always get something with no refin/mods, regardless? Or better...

    3 pickup 70s LPCs

    This looks factory original to me...

    3 pickup 70s LPCs

    Cool. Big Al, do you know if the 3-pickup version was offered only as a special order in 70/71? I saw one that seems to have a one-piece body (which was gone by late 69), so for 1971 that seems like it would be a special order.

    3 pickup early 70s LPCs

    Just realized this should be in a different section. Moving it over to the Sunburst Pub...

    3 pickup 70s LPCs

    Anyone have any thoughts about 1970-72 3 pickup customs? I saw one for sale and I was intrigued. I don't think I've seen many from this period. Wondering about sound, collectibility, etc.
