Company: Gibson
The Problem, no one knows, when it was done and who did it. I was told by the new owner he belives, that it is an 1954 neck. So I asked Tom Wittrock and Lou Gantanas (Oncle Lou), two real experts for old Les Paul and previous owners oft this guitar. Tom Wittrock wrote me: " I did not know anything about the reneck. I do not know where he got the idea it was a 1954 neck, but not from me. A 1954 neck would have the Gibson logo further down the face of the
headstock,
and this guitar does not have that in photos I see on line. If it does have a 1954 neck, then the headstock overlay and logos were changed to make them correct for 1960. But, my guess is that it does not have a 1954 neck."
Anyway it's a great Les Paul and it sounds very good.Lou Gantanas answer: ""I just looked at photos on burstserial.com and see the Gibson logo is too high for it to be an original ‘54 neck. and: "OK, if Tom Wittrock is familiar with this guitar, then it is the so-called 'Jerky-Burst', due to a photo used by Vic for his first book where I had that burst pictured in its case, with a 1-900-A U JERKY bumper sticker in the case. This of course was a project I was involved with in the early 90's which eventually would come to be known as# The Jerky Boys; a multi-platinum record selling comedy group. I purchased that guitar from a Japanese collector, who purchased it from Tom Wittrock; if Tom cant tell you any more about its history, nobody can. So if neither of us remember anything about a 1954 neck, then it probably isn't." Now it's up to you to decide what you belive. I think that neck can be anything. There is no proof for any kind of neck.. ,  1960 - 0 7606 (pic. from 2002) vs two 1954 Headstocks We still not know it. The Logo is defenetly no proof for a 54th neck. When I bought it, it was totaly refinished and the serial number was restamped. So there is no proof for anything left. |
