Sweet guitar, good luck with the sale! I don't think you have a price listed on the ad, only in your ebay auction.

Thanks for that and yes, she is a very sweet girl, and she is about as rare as they get, to boot.
Whoever comes up with the $$$ will be getting a great '56 type goldie, no doubt.

She has had a lot of interest but none serious yet, which means no one has come up with a payment, yet
I don't think she is in any hurry to leave tho'

AFA price, the recently ended eBay listing is an indication of what I may be willing to accept, depending on payment type.
It is also listed in the 'Other Les Pauls' forum, MIJ Classified.

A very similar Bacchus '56 type recently SOLD for nearly $1,900 to a buyer in Germany.
I am confident that one was an earlier example tho', as it did not have a serial number, and it did not have the 'Live Road' logo.
It was also quite beat up & the frets looked like Hell ...........

If not for the (circa 2004) BLS-54 pictured here on the left, I would be keeping the BLS-120S but I only need one P-90 goldie.

Thanks, they are both quite awesome but the 54 type is the only reason I considered selling the 56 type

both R killer guitars but I need only one carved top LP, P-90 type & the 54 is more to my liking ..........
