1957 Les Paul Special project guitar - asking $1,500

Should be a great player after its all fixed up

That's what I'm expecting. I was considering a Historic, but after chatting with Liam, I decided I wanted old wood.

I think quite a few of the guys on here know, but many don't, I cut my R&R teeth on a 55 Special in the late 60s. It was an odd duck (trap with ABR1, rubber switch washer as on a 58, originally wheat color I think, but sprayed into a Junior type of burst), I traded it for my ES330 in '69, should have kept it. Who knew? This will likely be a better guitar anyway.

Congratulations, Don!

I got the guitar of my dreams a couple of days ago.

It wouldn't have taken that long except he posted the ad at 4AM my time

Have to be fast to beat Fletch.

My company just got sold three weeks ago so I'm staying off the internet as much as possible, which means no MLP during work hours. Otherwise I'd have snatched it if I saw it.

I'd love to know where the OP picked this one up...
