    1963 SG (Les Paul) Standard - with Repro PAFs and PAF sticker??

    It’s a weird one. It doesn’t appear that there was plate tuners like a jr. But the pickup cavities don’t look factory. If it was a special it would have neck binding. Strange

    Les Paul Jr. DC versus Les Paul Special DC question

    Everything is relative. The bodies should be the same. Manufacturing separate size bodies wouldn’t be efficient. Nothing is exact I have two sixties SGs that are not the same thickness.

    ‘60s pelham blue SG Standards - how many?

    It does. With the wider nut width and added binding it plays and feels great.

    ‘60s pelham blue SG Standards - how many?

    I kinda cheated here is my 1966 melody maker. I had it renecked using the original board but now has wider nut and binding. When I did it they were pretty cheap and it had neck issues.

    Looks like there's a new model/body shape in town, the Theodore

    Remember this tulip shape was in 1957 the teisco guitars were from the sixties. In another thread here a Gibson employee talks about other drawings they had for acoustics even earlier (talk about crazy) I think it’s cool and I like the way they aged it.

    Seriously considering taking the plunge on this ‘56 Jr

    Before the last vintage bust sunburst juniors would go for over 10k. It’s hard for me to think any guitar is worth over 10k.
