The Official Vintage Les Paul Parts Thread !!!

It occured to me that alot of people are looking to replicate the vintage vibe of a 50's era LP !!! But i bet alot of people aren't sure what these vintage reproduction parts are supposed to look like !!! I think it would be an excellent idea to post parts from various 50's Les Paul's .. So people know what they really look like !!! Feel free to contribute photos , But please make sure they are of real vintage parts !!!

Re: The Official Vintage Les Paul Parts Thread !!!

oo question, in the 50's era inlays were they mother of pearl in the fretboard or are they plastic pearloid? because i heard somewhere that the gibsons nowadays have plastic for fretboard inlays while epi elitist are getting real MOP.

Re: The Official Vintage Les Paul Parts Thread !!!

This has to be a contender for the most unusual Vintage LP part. It's a
truss rod from a 1959 Burst.Most people may never see one in a lifetime.












No condom there.
