I appears to be authentic-Id say its a '73 or so-the non beveled cutaways, paddle head, wide bridge and logo pups date it to '71-73. The lack of serial number is due to the poor refinish job-that guitar has been extensively sanded and the Gibson branded bigsby removed.....

Interesting neck joint on that one...looks like its been sanded down or something-theres no "step"....the body looks like its been "re countoured" to look like a 60's ......nice guitar, but I think its had some "beautification"....hopefully that third pickup is a...

Actually , these Pro's are kinda rare as most of them suffered catastrophic decapitations due to the weak neck joint (the extra route for the p90's takes a lot of the support away from an already poorly designed neck joint). These guitars were really the ONLY choice back in the early 70's for a...

1971-73 PRO.....looks like it has been been refinished, but these are awesome guitars. A LOT of them didnt survive because the oversized P-90 route makes for a very delicate neck joint......This guitar would have had a gibson branded bigsby type trem on it (they all had 'em)...if you look close...

Thats my "Holy Grail" :Droolin:

I have had one of these for at least the last ten years-supposedly they made 500 of them-its a Korina body with a red wood stripe in the center. I have a couple of questions...does anyone know the specs of this guitar ? Namely -what pickups are in it ? Also, Im a little confused at the date of...

Sounds like you have a bad coil on that one...it should read around 7.6 OHM

Yea, yea ...thats the ticket-that way I can add some gold sparkle to the silicone and it will really match my gold toofisses !

What a great idea, I could glue it all around the pickguard !

I think I found a solution....this medallion was kicking around in the tool box for a while...its about the size of a quarter and completely smooth on the back-I used some "glue dots" from the craft store to attach it-and yes, I left the plastic on the guard so its not a permanent mod...

I always use a fine toothed rattail file to enlarge the holes-you have much more control...first use a tap tap to bevel the edge of the hole to avoid splinters..

WOW...The Good RATS ! I have not heard that name in DECADES ! I just HAVE to pull out those old LP's....... thanks for jogging my memory ! Tasty !

Well, your 1/2 right ...its not a "Pro"...the Pro had p-90's. There was no "standard" model in 1972...it was referred to as the "deluxe" There were actually 5 models offered in 1972..the "Custom" (three pups, gold hardware), The "Deluxe" (two Pu...

Dont worry dbb, although my gigging days are pretty much behind me, Im retired and still get to play at least a couple of hours a day and enjoy an neighborhood jam now and then, especially in the spring/summer. I belong to a blues group (affectionly known as the "Over the Hill " gang)...

I hear you..its actually still got the plastic covering on the entire pickguard.....heres the thing..I'm a collector-I have well over 450 guitars in my collection, including some 70 or so SG's........all VINTAGE. This guitar was a christmas present I bought myself because I got a new job (since...

This guitar caught my eye this last christmas...I have always liked SG's and Gold tops so this "Raw Power" was a natural for me...and I was courious about the maple neck... Well last night I spent some time on this guitar.. Changed the pups to BB Pro's with vintage logo covers...

Gotta love the ole paddle heads! Anyway looks like a lot of mods on this guitar including the pickups and the selector switch...I really like the necks on these, nice and thin

Yep, they are calling it a Elegant in Fire Mist........??

Yep, the serial number starts with a "CS" and then 5 digits-unlike the typical production serial number
