• 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!

Looking to identify my guitar from 20 years ago

I thought it was an 80s Les Paul Jr, technically Special.


I was told it originally had 2 P90s and had the neck pickup route filled and the bridge routed for a humbucker. It was repainted many times. It appeared to have a serial number stamped as a Gibson would under the paint. The headstock appeared authentic. The shape looked like a normal Jr. 80s Jrs had a tune o matic. This would mean minimal alternations, pickup changes and paint.


However, looking at it now the odd part would be the heel. It starts higher than on a normal Jr. The heel starts towards the top of the cutaway, while Jrs start at the bottom. Due to this, the bridge and pickup appear a bit higher too.

It was set neck. Aside from the heel, everything appeared correct and Gibson.


This is the only photo I have.

I mocked what it would look like without the refinish beside a standard Les Paul.
