This seems pretty accurate. I have this beautiful 2011 H-150 Goldtop with P-90s. The handwritten serial starts with AB, which the chart confirms as being a 2011. You should see this thing. It was a killer find for me...😜

That's sexy. Congrats!

Sweet!

Thanks Dan. Local seller in west Florida, a 2023 for $1850!!!

I’m sure my ears wouldn’t hear the difference between SD 59s and your throbaks

nice looking top on that one Will!

Anyone?

So what’s your investment now?

Ah... yep, that about says it all.

I supplied the finger board on that and a few others.

FWIW, I have a 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul v2 from the Gibson Custom Shop. It is really a fantastic guitar. V2 means it has a neck that's in-between the '59 profile and the very thin later 1960's neck profile. In fact, it is very much like my H150. My R0 only weighs 8lbs and 2ozs, one piece mahogany body no weird internal weight relief. It does that whole "beefy Telecaster" sound very well and really nails the Led Zep II album tone. I played a bunch of these reissues, 58's, 59's, 60's and different weights ranging from 8lbs 1oz to 9lbs 3oz. This one just immediately had that vibe. So I took it home. My H150 is a 1998, bought used from Buffalo Bros around 2001/2002. It was a dealer order that came factory with SD59s and standard stop bar / tune-o-matic (nashville) bridge. It weighs a bit over 9lbs and had that acoustic resonance. Can feel the string vibration going right to my belly playing it.

WHAT???????? Did the Factory install those Mushrooms??

I owned one of the first single cut Pro's in Orange Translucent. Here is my DC Pro.

Lol!

Regarding the weight of Les Paul Customs...

I prefer Barbra Streisand. We need a "Collectors Choice Barbra Streisand Historic Gibson Les Paul Reissue # Original Diva" model. She must have changed her name from Barbara? Not a Beach Boys fan, obviously.

The jpegs were inbreeding out of control. Had to be culled off.

Hey good info. Thanks for doing that!

Ha! I just remember the Heritage literature, I guess they had to distinguish it somehow. There was a nice golden amber one I saw in person somewhere. Casa Steiner? I always liked that Florentine cutaway. No slight on the Venetian cutaway, which is on my Millenium Eagle & I also admire.

Good tips! Thanks! A friend of mine had a 70s custom gtr, kind of an Alembic thing, Garcia-like. It weighed a TON & had all brass hardware, one of those headstock plates too! Very nice guitar though.

From Terry McInturff: "To over-simplify a very deep and misunderstood topic...the reason as to why the innate ( non/electronic) resonant characteristics of the electric guitar are of pivotal importance is this: the characteristics of the unplugged guitar dictate how the strings can/cannot vibrate, and hence how the strings can/cannot interact with the pickup(s). In this way it can be shown that the unplugged resonant "signature" of an electric guitar places true boundaries upon what can/cannot be amplified, no matter what the pickups or other electronics may be. If a certain spectrum of the overtone series is weak or absent, no pickup can "invent" what is missing. The "unplugged personality" of the guitar is therefor of foundational importance. This TCM Marquee semi-hollow body is ready for top carving and then, binding. It is an extremely lightweight body, and will be very reactive to string vibrations in a pre-determined way. It's easy to build an acoustically loud and vibrant guitar that misses the desired tonal target. With a design like this, the resonant character of the neck is especially important...make-or-break important. I can finesse the final available overtone series from here via the neck (within the boundaries of the design and the actual body's character). It's not possible to do with just any example of the neck woods...in this case, H. Mahogany. I cannot grab just any example of that wood and expect to "hit the target". It is...to quote Al Gore..."an inconvenient truth".

Yeah, it was a shame as there were a LOT of really great shots in the PSP gallery.

Yes sir. 2017. It was pretty special for me. Pete is so freaking down to earth and knowledgeable. I’m not sure how it was advertised, but the label doesn’t say pro. I do know that the wood, paint, and pups ( lollar low wind imperial) were hand picked by Eddies guitar. Pete said he personally did all the 155s with the florentine cutaway and the bound single f-holes.
