Thanks for all the info. Checked out the guitar this afternoon. It was in excellent condition and the neck had a nice profile too it. Not quite a fat '50s, but not the slim-taper '60s either. Unfortunately, the neck has developed a twist to the bass side, and needs to be looked at by an...

Thanks! Before I do any deal, it's better to be informed. If it indeed has the "60s slim-taper" neck, I'll probably pass, since I already have a nice '90s Gibson LP Standard in ebony with a fairly fat neck (nitro finish, of course!). I should be able to check it out this weekend, so I'll keep...

Seller is listing it as a 2008 LS-148. Pickups are changed to EMGs (Yuk!), but I have plenty of good PUs to rectify that quick! What would the finish be (poly or nitro)?

FYI - please put a WTB prefix in your thread title. It will help viewers know your are actually looking for, not selling, these parts.

Looking at a possible axequsition (like a need another one LOL): 1979 Les Paul Reborn LS-100. Seller claims it's a solid top, but I doubt it (quilted) and nitro finish. It has Dimarzios and nibs on the fret ends. I know really early ones have varying features, so I thought I'd see if some of the...

I didn't check the pix carefully, since I'm wasn't really in the market for yet another one. I'm actually heading to Japan in a couple weeks, so planning to check some vintage/used music stores while in country. We'll see what pops up!

It's currently at 91,000 yen. ~147yen/$US=$620. Shipping will likely add about $125-150. Anything under $800 would probably be ok for me (but I gotta stop buying......... someday LOL)

Good luck - let us know if you get it!

Well, you're in the right place. Keep reading posts in this forum to get a bit of an education, then you may be able to ask more specific questions. I bought my first real good one last Fall, and have gained a lot of knowledge on the breed since then. I have been fortunate to find two nice ones...

R.I.P. Robbie - Played with some of the greats and brought a lot of great music to us over a long period of time!

Gotcha - I didn't see the pic of the warranty card. Makes sense.

Just a guess, but "Violin Finish"?

Thanks for posting these. It's interesting that these are from the official catalog, but are obviously hand drawn. Shows how informal the operation was at the time.
