Les Paul Pro?

Is it me or is this guy really uneducated or a dick?

Looks like he's trying to pass off a 60's tribute for 78' pro

Apparently he had it refinished and the binding got covered? I don't believe it? What do you guys think?

Re: Les Paul Pro?

It's got a volute and big headstock. Looks like a Pro to me. Most likely refinished? But definitely a Pro.

Re: Les Paul Pro?

EDIT
I thought you meant the first one.
Looks like a Pro to me but I wouldn't pay $1500 for it refinished like that.

Re: Les Paul Pro?

Well they both have Norlin features: Headstock and Volute.

The one has neck binding but no body binding (Edit: Article says that the binding was painted over)

The other is definitely not a 60's Tribute.

So no neither are 60s tributes to my eye.

Check out the fret work. It's a Pro.

It's definitely a Pro, not a 60s Tribute. That refin is a major botch job.
