What we know, including the problems
Everything we could research or see, including what we couldn't verify. We would rather tell you now than argue about it later. If something here matters to you, ask before you bid, or come try it on the 19th or 20th.
- Model identification is not fully settled. The configuration (P-90s + wraparound) points to a Les Paul '55 reissue rather than a Deluxe. It is NOT being sold as a Deluxe.
- Originality is unverified. Do not assume all-original.
- Fingerboard inlay style is being re-examined; if the inlays are blocks rather than dots, that would indicate a possible neck swap or parts guitar.
- Potentiometer date codes have not been fully read, so the year cannot be narrowed past 1974–75.
- Player-grade condition: top scuffs, heavy wear on the back.
- Case inclusion not confirmed.
