Hi all! I am looking to buy this Les Paul Standard 96 and would appreciate some help identifying if some features are original if possible. Link to imgur album as some photos are too large:
.
Is it possible to tell if these are the original 490R/498T pickups? I was given readings of 7.80K for neck and 14.32K for bridge it that helps.
Is it unusual that the pots are unbranded and the knobs are gold speed knobs? Do the stop tailpiece and bridge look right for the period?
The rest of the guitar seems in place to me, e.g. logo, serial number, case, bindings cover fret ends etc. and the guitar makes all the usual expected noises. Is there anything else I should look out for?
Many thanks in advance for your time.
