Re: 1957 Les Paul Special
Very cool!!! Its interesting how the body protrudes under the neck final frets in the cutaway, where as the modern les Paul's have the cutaway flush with the neck.GrantB wrote:This thing followed me home from LA this week. All original, including worn frets. Sounds crazy good, but needs a refret to unlock the true potential.

Yes, a characteristic of the "budget" level Gibson's of this era. Makes for a much stronger joint plus more meat for tonal transfer. These pickups sound quite PAF like. Honky, clear, woody...with a hint of mouth feel.AiRdAd wrote:

What the trout does KOK stand for? King of Cocks is all that comes to mind.
KFC is the closest abbreviation that I'm familiar with. Sorry for the noob question.
