Morning all,
Selling my LPJ 1960 Double Cut to fund a new vintage LP. Sad to see this go and looking to get out what I put in to it at £2,995.
I bought this from Mike at Atoyboy Guitars in Cheltenham and the text below is from his original ad which you can still see on his website with high res pictures. I have black lighted the guitar and all looks in order, happy to let prospective buyers take a look under BL as well as I have a small one at home.
This is a Superb Gibson original 1960 vintage Les Paul Junior double cutaway in beautiful vibrant un-faded cherry red which has all the important original bits, including frets and the electrics but does have some changed parts however it has no breaks or repairs.
So why is it so cheap. Well hardware wise the bridge and posts have been changed to a pretty good repro one, the back plate is missing and it had different tuners on at one stage, originals or at least period correct ones are back on it now. When the original tuners went back on the headstock was refinished to cover the holes made by the previous tuners this resulted in the serial number ink stamp to be lost so the chap who did the refin stamped that original number back on the back. ‘Les Paul Junior’ silkscreen has either been rubbed off the front of the headstock or it never had one.
The good news is there are no breaks or repairs anywhere and the refin on the headstock is not hiding anything nasty.
Serial number is 0 9201 and all pots, wiring and pickups are original. As far as I can tell, everything else is all there and original including strong P-90 pickup, tuners pick guard etc. It does have a few small dings and dongs here and there but nothing really too serious at all, in fact it is a great vintage guitar to look at and to play with all the important bits there.
Original frets with hardly any wear at all and no wear whatsoever on the lovely, original rosewood fingerboard. It has a superb, fast action and is a killer player for a bargain price...
A great bargain for the player - where else can you get an original 1960 Les Paul for under 3 grand…? it plays well, good intonation and a killer vintage P-90. Weight is just 3.2Kg and it has a nice, classic, wide and slim ‘60 profile neck.
Pictures up shortly. (edit, removed some of the shouting
Cheers Toby

Tough decision this one, if I could afford to keep it and buy the new one I would
ill see what I can do to get it sorted out. Thanks for the heads up.

Morning all,
This is now on its way to Playergradevintage to have a 50/60's era cover plate made for the controls aperture. So anyone interested but put off by coming down to Surrey can see this now in Norwich by appointment.
Once its back anyone who is genuinely interested is welcome to come down check the LPJ out, play it through my EC Fender Twinolux and stay for a cup of tea and a chat. I'm not a dealer, just a guitar player who enjoys new and old quality kit.
I bought the guitar in September last year, I've enjoyed playing it at home since I bought it and now its time for it to go to fund something bigger and better
Cheers
TC
