Not in the cards for me at the moment but hope someone on this board can grab a good deal.

Beautiful...

Never liked that fin, personally.

That's an early non-preamp model. It's a decent buy at the starting price.

My favorite guitar is the Les Paul Jr in that finish with a P90. When these came out I thought I was going to love it, turned out not to be for me. That is a nice price for the opening bid.

That's like one Leslie West used to use...?

Yeah it does look like Leslie's LP Jr. They made these in tv yellow too, which would also be cool. G.O.T., curious why you didn't like it? I've heard Uwe describe them as sounding closer to an old thunderbird compared to the standards.

I bought one of these last week in the same "turdburst" finish. it was in rough shape, but it will be revived as an 8 string very soon.

i have a '92 LPB-1 though mine's cherry red. i love it. it's a T-Bird in street clothes. great sounding bass and super comfy.

Love to see some pics of that when you get it done

Yeah Leslie West, Ariel Bender MOTT (Luther Grovsner) Some of my favorite guitar players ever and man what tone!

Don't forget Johnny Thunders.
