Hello everyone! I’m trying to get an exact/rough date for my mates 69/70Les Paul, I’ll post pictures and as much information as I can below.
Cherry Sunburst Finish
Closed B and O, dotted I on headstock
Transitional Tennon
No Volute
No “Made In USA” stamp.
Serial is 730319 ( Comes up as a 70-72, but also comes up as a 66-69).
3pc Pancake (cross branded body)
Gibson Tuners
Pots look original but codes are either covered with solder or need a little clean
Center seamed
Other bits!
Equipped with P90’s but has the MHB bar in pickup cavity’s? So its a Deluxe?
Neck looks to be 3 pc but unsure if thats not just the “wings”?
Any help with dating is much appreciated, or any extra information about the guitar itself!
many thanks all!
