New Guitar!

[dr.barlo]

I traded



(a parts p90 thinline with a USACG body and Warmoth neck and Lollar p90s) and



and got



A 1976 Les Paul Deluxe with a maple neck and pancake body and mini HBs. The bridge needs new saddles. And there are some other minor stuff I need to take care.

What say you?

Good or bad?

Nice! I had a 76' Deluxe for many many years. It was my first "real" guitar......

Same here. Mine was wine red and bought in 77, I dropped a set of P-90's in it around 80 instead of the mini humbuckers and played the heck out of if until it burned in a house fire around 1982.
You did well man!

Re: New Guitar!

If sometime down the road you decide to upgrade pups...I highly recommend the Seymour Duncan "Seymourized" Mini-Humbuckers. I put those in my '73 Deluxe and WOW!! What an improvement!! Beautiful guitar!

Damn, you stole that! Nice score!

Re: New Guitar!

Cool!

My red tele sounded really good. I loved the tone out of it. That's the essence why the other guy agreed to do the trade. He really is into the tele jr. thing. Meanwhile, the deluxe sounds very good as well. Even with a mini hb in the bridge, it is not icepicky, and has some crazy sustain going. But it needs a new bridge, new pots, caps, I am gonna change the nut as well...

Re: New Guitar!

Looks to me like you got the better end of the deal.

I agree...I would probably make those same changes in it. If the bridge hasn't collapsed, though, maybe just new saddles would be fine.

Decent trade for sure. Looks like that is an SG case though.

How do you discriminate? This one has sorta tight fit, and I suspect may not be an original. That's why I am asking you know... How about the case? Is it an original 76 LP deluxe case? Not that it's a biggie, but still... curiosity you know.



Thanks in advance...

Here are some other pics.

Re: New Guitar!

In this shot and others I can see where it looks like the SG horns left an impression and I can see what looks like an area of open space by the toggle switch area and the side of the case that is the differance in body width of an SG and LP...



If it is snug and does not move it the case, good enough.
