Hi folks, been a member here for many years and have thoroughly enjoyed reading and learning from the posts. I have a 1952 all gold Les Paul. A good friend of mine had 2 52’s and a 53. He sold me mine for an incredible price as we’ve been friends for 20+ years and knows I will appreciate i. I’ve gigged it and recorded with it. It has an old headstock repair and I refretted it because the tiny frets were horrible and I never plan on parting with it. My Question: Should I save the money to buy PAF’s and convert it to 57 spec? It’s sounds AMAZING as is, but every time I see a burst video it gets me going. Additional questions: do I have to refin the top? Because I do not want to. The checking and greening are bad ass. I know it needs a neck re set. Burst guys. Is it worth it? I’ve played a handful of bursts. 3 were REALLY great (not enough so to be worth more than my house) 2 were just eh?
I know PAF’s vary and it’s probably a crap shoot. Please talk me off the ledge or give a good reason to JUMP! Thanks in advance, Brian
