BigRedX Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Hardly a prototype. Looks like one of Les Paul's personal guitars that started out life as a standard 53 or 54 model and was then modified to suit his individual needs. Quote
Chiliwailer Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Could be a prototype for the introduction of the 54 Les Paul Custom, some of those had Bigsby units. Strange that they didn't use that ABR1 bridge until 56 on std models, rather than the wrap around, I'd love a 56 with that bridge and P90's, that's a unique year before humbuckers were introduced in 57...dream on..... Anyway looks like a Black Beauty proto to me. Quote
