    Goldtop Refin + Repro Plastics and Hardware

    I thought my '54/55 to '58 Darkback Goldtop conversion might be interesting for the Historic District as well. There were no original parts left, so I decided to go for decent repro parts, and a pair of original unopened PAF's. - Pickup Rings: English OTP M69 by Retrospec - Pickguard...

    Les Paul Logo Position on Headstock

    While I was checking details for my GT conversion project, one of those VAH questions caught my attention. What is the exact position of the 'Les Paul' silkscreen logo on the headstock? After digging through my Les Paul folders I came up with a preliminary hypothesis that I would be happy to...

    Goldtop Pics

    I'm looking for detailed pictures of an original goldtop in excellent condition with just some minor forearm wear and a few dings here and there. I just couldn't find any high resulution pics of what I'm looking for. There is either too much wear or the pics are too small to make out enough...

    JTM45 Bluesbreaker Scam Alert

    This is undoubtedly another product from Doncaster. We'll see if the seller is going to pull the auction as he was now informed that it's not a Marshall.

    My 54/55 Conversion

    In early '03 I bought this boogered '54/'55. There are no original parts left, but it has a nice early PAT No. bridge PUP and a narrow spaced PAF with added coil tap in the neck position. She sounds great, but I thought would profit a great deal from removing the thick Poly/PU finish, replacing...

    WTB / WTT ABR-1

    My poor old '54 conversion is in need of a real vintage ABR-1, mainly for tonal reasons. A wire ABR would just as well be fine, though nickel prefered. I can live without (original) saddles and would accept issues, as long as it's structurally sound. wannatone [at] arcor.de

    ´65 Marshall JTM-100 Super PA

    For those who aren´t on the PP: It´s a very early JTM-100 Super PA w/ white back panel, probably late ´65, w/ the voltage selector on the 3" PT. The cab has a pair of small Vox vents. The chassis appears to be almost 100% original, except for a couple of replaced components. It came with a set...
