That's an extremely rare guitar. Singlecuts are rare in '58. I've never seen another one from '59 or later. Yeah, it had some mods. It had been converted to a Special when I bought it from a guy here on the forum. I sent it to Gord Miller to have it made whole again. Outside of the plugs that can be seen in the pics the finish is 100% original.

It is a complete monster. I've never heard another Les Paul that sounds like it. It weighs about 7lbs and vibrates and rings like no solid body guitar I've ever played. My '53 conversion was a great old LP, but nothing like this guitar.
