Hello all,
I just got a 1956 Les Paul Custom. It's a bit of a mongrel, but she's very cool. Somebody routed the guitar for humbuckers at some point, but that's no big deal for me. When I want P-90 tone, I have a 1959 Les Paul Junior that fills that bill nicely. This will be a work in progress as I can source the correct parts. I have a set of the Waffleback Klusons on the way, and I'm waiting for a gold ABR. As far as pickups go, I'm going to replace the Tim Shaws that came in it with a set of early Patent Number pickups I have.
Anyway, I am going to restore her to her former glory as I can. I'm beyond stoked.
