Les Paul Special DC

[Philly Q]

The 24 fret DC models were odd, they just added the extra 2 frets without giving any thought to redesigning the body shape to make it easier to reach those frets.

So they ended up with a guitar with the pickups too close together and two extra notes hardly anyone will ever use.

(Having said that, the pickups are also too close together on the '60 LP Special DC, but that was to avoid weakening the neck joint.... and at least it has a vintage charm about it!)

Yep, Hamer have stopped everything.

I own one but it is currently in USA.  TV yellow too. Not going to manage to pick it up for a while though unfortunately. Its in Philly and that is a bit of a trip from my Son's place in Ohio.

This is mine:



I was just restringing it and giving it a work out.

btw Philly, it is a 1960, so has the closer pickups and mine is technically an SG Special, not having Les Paul on the headstock

Oops sorry yeah, that was a bit careless of me. I meant, of course, Philadelphia. Sorry Philly!

Nice, very nice!  :D

Mine's just a modern reissue, of course.

I'm pretty sure you have one of the nicest collections going and I've only seen snippets over the years.

That picture is causing quite some GAS.
