Serial Number: #526879
Tech Notes: This Les Paul plays well with medium action. The frets are thin and show moderate wear. Due to the refinish, a portion of the serial number is difficult to make out but from what's visible, the serial dates to 1968. This date estimation is confirmed by the gap between the top and the body which is visible from the electronics cavity. This is a quirk only found on Les Pauls from 1968.
