FOR MORE PHOTOS, DETAILED INFO AND HISTORY, PLEASE CHECK OUR LISTING FOR THE GUITAR!
If we cannot get a buyer for the guitar, we are parting out everything and keeping the body because of the great neck. Message/email us for all inquiries and any reasonable offers for parts. We are selling our listed 1961 Les Paul Standard for less than the combined value of the parts. You should really check it out.
Only if PAFs are sold, I will consider selling the rest of the parts from the guitar: original pickup switch and poker chip, original no-retaining-wire ABR-1 bridge, thumb wheels and posts, original pickguards and truss rod cover and screws, original silver insert top hat knobs. and an original faux alligator case in excellent condition (guitar was stored and transported in a hard-shell Gator case), Period-correct nickel Grovers with screws. (Can't tell if they are original to the guitar. There does not appear to be any extra holes or indentations on headstock that would indicate Klusons or something else were installed originally.) Also have the late 60s stoptail and studs that were installed when the guitar was refinished.
6/13/24 and 3/19/24 ADDED NOTES: Thanks for the inquiries, but only after we find a buyer for the PAFs and the wiring harness will we consider selling the rest of the parts. While we would prefer to sell the whole guitar as it is, we would keep the body just for the neck, it's that nice, and sell off the rest of the nickel parts. Send us a message if you have any interest in the electronics, We're sure we can work something out.
Black and Blacker
Electronic payments, PayPal, direct transfers. Old-fashioned paper like bank checks and money orders OK after clearing. We'll work with you. Trades may be considered; we are currently not looking for anything specific. But you never know! (A nice jetglo Rick bass might be nice...)
