Ive been reading some conflicting info on Reborns, I have a 1979 reborn, it has Les Paul on the headstock its stamped LS50 on the last fret, my LS50 has a 2 peice back and a 3 peice cap, it has the witchy hat vol and tone pots, ive seen a 79 on ebay with speed knobs which is right?
mine is a cherry burst, i still have the original pups but i didnt like then so i put on a pair of pearly gates (SD), and the double ringed tulip tokai tuners were rubbish, i had to changed them for some aged replacements from a Gibson Historic. Since ive changed those bits around the guitar now sounds fantastic.
Ive had it for about 5 years and only started playing it again after my gigging Gibson Les Paul Standard started to develop a buzz on the 3rd string between 0-2nd fret, sounds like the frets need dressing but they are on the limit now, i think i might be looking at a re-fret
I do like this reborn though, it plays like a dream.
I suppose because my LS50 is pretty worthless on account of it's 2 peice back and a 3 peice cap, but i still think its the best ?400 ive ever spent.
