Friends,

Would someone supply me with a picture or information on parts for a 1971 Les Paul Custom Cherry Sunburst?. I am attempting to get this guitar back to stock appearance but can't find any pictures on the WWW. I am in the last stages of restoration.

Thanks

having had a bb of same vintage-the hardware was the same as for bb's, all gold, yours may have had nylon saddles instead of gold tone, otherwise they are the same-the kluson waffle back tuners with tulips, abs bridge with wire, witch hats, black plastic all around, pups were plain gold tone ( not embossed ) 490-498's-what else would you like to know (this is from memory but im pretty clear on this particular guitar-it was my first lp and i polished the thing every day......)find a photo of 70-72 bb and youre there:hippy
