Nice. Is it a Ye Olde, or a modern one?

Beautiful guitar!

The sideboard is a bit near the radiator though, innit?

Beautiful guitar you have there, i was playing my R4 last night incredible guitar. Should yours not have the crown inlay instead of the les paul screen print?

Nope. This reissue is based on the most popular and desired spec of the '68-'69 Goldtops.

It appears that the crown was only present for the first guitars off the line in July '68 by August '68 they had reverted to the Les Paul Model decal, see here for a summary:

Now there's an idea! It's solid Mango wood and I'm sure would make a nice rustic relic'd Tele one day.
