At the heart of it - this is a 1955 Les Paul Junior - it is incredibly light original mahogany from Honduras presumably. It has the original p-90 pickup. It has led the life of well-played instrument (there's a reason why the mint ones are mint y'know) with some provenance and just sounds killer.

This is my part of it's history - I bought it from a respected player who had had it restored by a great Luthier. The guitar had had a headstock break, as well as being 'converted' to a Les Paul Special at some point previous to 2006. It was restored back to spec which meant a mahogany veneer had been used front and back and had a headstock repair. The decal is clearly not original and the serial number was also 'lost' during the repair. I also had a re-fret. The guts of it though are a 1955 Les Paul Junior. I appreciate that many people may think all this is BS - my response to them - just play it, inspect it, smell it, touch it, feel it and judge for yourself. It is a KILLER sounding and playing guitar. It has a well fitting hard case that I believe may be a Guild. 

However, because it has led an interesting life - it also also extremely affordable. An original condition is ten grand. A Custom Shop is around 3.5K to 4K. The sustain is just unbelievable. The job Ray Copper did on the restoration is superlative.
