📚Description: I Bought a 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special that is a little unlike most. This started life as your regular 1957 Gibson Les Paul Special in a TV Yellow finish with 2 p90 pickups and a wrap tailpiece but at some point in the later-70s, it was stripped+refinished all the while adding a "Mystic Maiden" inlaid onto the top with plastic, mother of pearl, abalone and wood. It was also routed for Dimarzio Humbuckers, refretted, reamed for Schaller tuners and a placque etched into the back. What we have is far from a $20,000 original example... but something dripping with more vibe than your eyes have room for.
