Re: Awesome find!- NM 1957 Goldtop with case candy
I was able to see the pics. Not a member, but often search old threads with google. I've always wondered how people get this lucky with rare and cool finds. I use to hit up garage or yard sales to hope and find a rare guitar... Never found squat haha.

Don't get how a lady who never married would have held onto a vintage Les Paul, if it was hers are where it came from. It was top-wrapped with flats; sounds like it was intended as a Jazz box. Would be interested in the whole back-story.

If you read through the entire thread, there are more details. The guitar has already been sold to someone overseas. My guess is Japan. But it is just a guess.

The mods on MyLesPaul forum are either too drunk or too stupid. Too much craziness sometimes over there.

i never had a problem at MLP. however, the gear page mods are idiots and are quick to ban. i was banned for making fun of someone's mazda miata. i think i called it a woman's roadster. anyways..

Good eye. :smokin:
Dude says,
That guitar should have fret end nibs... standard Gibson practice even in 1957. It doesn't.
That means at best, it was refretted. So for being looking "like as near new as possible", dude's statement doesn't add up at all.
(That nut looks suspicious too. I'd love to see the truss rod... and other items... :nono: )
