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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
