It also has no binding, the diagonal bridge pickup screws , the early routing in the bridge pickup route. It is also a very nice looking guitar with all original finish and it comes with its original case.The finish is all well covered with checking . I,m sure every part on the guitar is original except the switch tip.the control cavity is as clean as any i,ve ever seen and its untouched since it left the factory, the one pot date i can read is from the 12th  week of 52.  OK for the bad stuff , It has a old smilie face headstock crack that has been repaired very nicly and it very strong , the outline of the repair was done with some finish that has turned more red over the years so it is easy to see . there are two little screw holes under the trapeze , one is hidden and one is right by the trapeze foot.It also has had other tuners so there is extra holes under the original tuners that are back on it.Overall when you pick it up none of these jumps out at you and it is really a beautiful guitar.case is original and in decent shape but could use a little gluing. The action is nice and low and this has a big fat neck and it really plays great even with the trap.Even with the issues this one would look great on display as one of the first les pauls ever.I HAVE ALOT OF PICS IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING .IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT NOW LET ME KNOW AND I WILL ADD IT TO THE AUCTION.......shipping is 100.00 for overnite shipping.....THERE IS A 7 DAY NO QUESTIONS ASKED RETURN POLICY ON ANYTHING I SELL, RETURN FOR A FULL REFUND.CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.I AM A LONG TIME EBAY DEALER AND WANT TO KEEP YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE ITEMS.EVERY ITEM I SELL HAS A 7 day NO QUESTIONS ASKED APPROVAL PERIOD**NO MONEY ORDERS FROM OVERSEAS***PAYMENTS BY *** PAYPAL *** OR  MONEY ORDER or Bank Wire TransferSEE MY AUCTIONS FOR OTHER GREAT HARD TO FIND VINTAGE STUFF....*****I only sell to ebayers with 10+ good feedbacks *****  NO BIDS OR SHIPPING TO OR FROM AUSTRIA....EVER!
