I was stupid in 1973 for twice the money I could have got a used real burst hell I worked all summer 16 hours a day for my 1972 Les Paul Custom LE
My other guitar at that time was a 1961 Les Paul SG I wore it out sold the husk and case saved the parts

Don't beat yourself up. Nobody wanted used guitars in the '70s. They were just old guitars then, before collectors and the scourge of the word "vintage"

This is so stupid it makes my head hurt. Yeah, sure, tone is in the (broken) jack plate right? But people bought hook, line and sinker into the idea that somehow the 1958-1960 guitars nobody wanted to buy and got discontinued were sprinkled with fairy dust, so sure why not an $1800 piece of brittle, broken plastic. Barnum was certainly right.

Man, in my local shop (where I bought my first Les Paul) they had a rack of old Fenders and a rack of old Gibsons. The only reason anyone looked at those racks is because they couldn't afford a new one. It's all such BS.

This broken plastic is from a 52 which stock with the trapeze bridge is essentially unplayable past fret 3.
But man, to get a reall actual 52 broken plastic jack plate without the jack?
Where do I sign up??
