@dereklong801 3 жыл бұрын
@LLOYDJARED BACANI Les Paul experimented with solid body designs before 1950, but it was not the "Les Paul." Fender released the Esquire and Broadcaster in 1950. Gibson responded by bringing in Les Paul as a consultant and released the Gibson Les Paul in 1951 and 1952. So yes, Fender was first.
@seashorerumble1380 3 жыл бұрын
@LLOYDJARED BACANI it is common knowledge that lots of people were experimenting with solid bodies, Leo Fender WAS however the first who got it right and made it commercially viable. In the same way he acquired the projects of an electric bass prototype that dated the 1920's (circa) , only he was able to perfect them and make the precision bass, which is for this reason considered the first electric bass

Good move on the guitarist's part. Unless it's destroyed, NEVER part with a vintage Les Paul for less than a brand new one goes for. If he put it up, he could easily get $5000 for it just on his name/history alone and where it's been. So, VERY smart move to walk away with the Les Paul in hand.

Same here buddy. I've been a musician for seven or eight years. I am a guitarist and a singer. And I studied my guitars inside and out. I knew right away that it wasn't a 1960 either. I knew it was right around between the early and mid 70s. Like I have a Les Paul myself. And I thought it was a 2010 model. And upon further inspection and investigating the serial number it turned out it was a 2003 guitar not a 2010. And also the model it was only made in 2003 and 2004. And the Les Paul I have is number 1394 in the lineup

Didn't need to check the pots. Notice Jesse didn't. I saw it with the purple lining in the case(70's)as soon as he opened it, then the body separation, and volute. 60's serial numbers got re-used in the 70's as well, so that's fairly worthless to date them until about 76 when they put sn's on a decal. I've dealt with a lot of people who thought they had a valuable piece and didn't. At least this guy accepted it and didn't go into denial mode like a lot of them do.

@Storm Designs you don’t need to be an expert to know the basic difference between a 60s and a 70s. The volute is a massive give away. It’s not minor differences. Especially since he claims he thought it was really valuable. What guy who thinks he has a 1960 Les Paul doesn’t do a 10 second google to check it out...

It’s not a 60s because it has a “pancake” body. Definitely a early to mid 70s. Any serious les Paul player should know that especially if you’ve toured and been around other musicians.

There's no way this dude didn't know that wasn't a 1960 Les Paul . For one thing most Dark Colored Gibson Royal Body Les Pauls are usually 1970s Models . The 1960s Gibson Royal Bodies usually had Sunburst or Multi color schemes of some kind like Brown and Yellow . The Pot knobs realy gave It away as well . They looked 70s Style . This dude was just looking to pass this Guitar off as a 60s model for a Big Pay out .
