'74 Les Paul Custom - Twentieth Anniversary

This first of the Anniversary Models, this was made in '74 to commemorate the anniversary of the '54 Les Paul Custom. This is a true "project", and is in the first stages of being restored. It was slightly damaged by fire and I am working on cleaning up the finish and obtaining correct vintage electronics and hardware for those parts that were replaced. I will post before-and-after photos when the project is completed. Nearly all 20th Anniversary models were made in Ebony or White, and some reference works state that those were the only colors made. Very few were made in Tobacco Sunburst like this one and I do not plan to alter the finish in any way other than to clean it and do some "touch up". Despite the cosmetics issues, it plays very well and has the fast "fretless wonder" neck that only LP Customs have.
