    I am also a member on the Les Paul Forum. What I can't understand it that guys buy these guitars for 5 grand and then immediately change the pickups.
    The is how I got my BBs for my gold top. They are excellent pick ups and I don't really know why a guy would pay that much for a guitar that he didn't like the pickups.
    I checked up here and that same guitar is "on sale" for 6900 at the 12th Fret in Toronto.
    I think you got a pretty good deal.

    Very nice indeed. The serial number seems like a '95 mfg. year. That explains
    the light weight if so as Gibson was having a tough time finding lighter
    (low silica content) wood as time went on. Also if a '95 it could be a
    Tom Murphy finish on it. He actually used Iodine in the finish of that type
    finish. Congrats!

    Nope, it's definitely a 2005. There are apparently several ways to differentiate the '95s from the '05s, but the fret inlays are the easiest. See THIS POST at the MyLesPaul.com forums. Mine definitely has the "swirly" patterned fret inlays with the sharp corners. It also has the "reissue" bumblebee tone caps, where they were still using ceramics in '95.

    Definitely one of the most beautiful guitars here on the fret. That look is hard to top, to be honest.

    Great catch. Congrats DVM!

    Just curious....
    What do they use for Nut material on the '59 re issue, and what are you stringing it with?

    From what I've read, the nut material used on the Historic Series guitars at that time was Corian. That's a synthetic composite made of alumina trihydate ceramic in an acrylic polymer matrix, developed by DuPont in the '60s. Though best known as a material used for kitchen counters and bathroom vanity tops, it was originally developed as a replacement material for human bones. So it's not a bone nut, but it is as close as DuPont could get!

    The guitar has D'Addario 10's on it.

    BTW, is that Lowell George in your avatar?

    Yep, that's him.

    Corian, no kidding. What did they use on original 59's back in the day? My Idol has black graphite and that's one object open for variation. Mind you, I'm well aware that the nut is not a HUGE factor, but it is a relatively inexpensive mod, and getting as close as possible to the "Holy Grail" can't hurt.

    Thanks.
