Originally was a Gold Top with the skinny humbuckers..but by the time I bought it, the finish had been stripped and resealed to the natural wood (actually looked quite nice) and the skinny buckers had been replaced with full size humbuckers (thereby ensuring that the guitar could never be restored to the original condition after the routing etc).
I got a Les Paul as my first as deal with my dad. He was moving his business (office) and said if I did it all, he'd buy mea guitar. I was looking at whatever cheapy I thought my dad would go for...He was like 'Nope, do it right...get a good one not some crap. You'll never play if it sucks'....Rock on dad.
Then in the late 80's, I traded it off for a pearlescent fuchsia Kramer Baretta (which I promptly put EMG's in....)
That's my story.
