NGD 1961 Les Paul Custom Reissue

[Gold Tone]

Very nice. I like it

Set up correctly a Vibrola tuning is rock solid. I can do heavy vibratos yet stay perfectly in tune by a Peterson strobe tuner at 1/1000

Yes I certainly don't have any issues with tuning stability with the Maestro. The only thing that sucks is changing tuning takes ages.

Let me know if you want to sell the case or if anyone knows where I can get one for my '61

What a gorgeous guitar! I'd love one myself.

I know I'm a lot late, but congrats, HNGD and play her in good health!

Sweet guitar. I have a soft spot for early LPs...(SGs)

Hello Everyone
I recently picked up this '98 1961 Les Paul Custom Reissue. Yes, I know its an SG, but "technically" its a Les Paul so I posted it here. I purchased it bone stock and have made some upgrades to give it a bit more of a vintage vibe and flavor. I had a lot of fun putting this guitar together, and it sounds really good! I really like how almost all of the gold has worn off of the metal parts. The following is the new spec list with the upgrades included:

1998 Gibson SG 1961 Reissue
1960s Gibson yellow-lined case
1960s Grover Patent Pending tuners
1960s Gibson Custom truss rod cover
1950s Gibson M-69 pickup rings
1970s Gibson tarback pickups
Faber aged gold ABR-1
Faber aged gold tailpiece/studs
1960s Gibson Maestro cover
1960s Gibson reflector knobs
Gibson historic spec swith ring
Gibson historic spec switch tip

Wow - that’s a stunner - congrats!!
