'69 LP Custom

[yourlespaul]

I sent an email to Gibson asking for any assistance regarding the origination of the guitar. The refinishing job on the guitar looks too good to be an aftermarket. So perhaps it was possibly completed before leaving the factory.

Also the PAF pickup has been modified ala Peter Green(?). It has a fantastic sound when the switch is in the middle position and one of the volume's is backed off slightly.

Yes, I've heard of the white 'preacher' guitar. There is a guitar shop here in Toronto that has a '69 deluxe in a tobbacco burst that is supposed to be original. It looks like a typical Norlin era burst with a hard transition. The dealer is questionable, however.

The guitar which is the subject of this thread doesn't look like it has a Gibson style burst (for the period) or in Gibson colors. Actually, they did start shooting the desert burst models in that style in the '90's but never back then.

Agreed.
