Hi everybody! :)

First post here, but I've been a lurker for some time now, and I owned a couple of Mats guitars, including a Westbury Standard I still have.

I wanted to share my latest acquisition, a Pearl Les Paul Custom... It's a bit dirty and beat up, cheap non-original pickups & case, and it needs a setup badly, but I got it for cheap:

I just LOVE mother of pearl inlays & fret edge binding! :up:

... From reading around the web most seem to think these were made in the late '70s/early '80s by Matsumoku, but I've read others say Hoshino/Ibanez... What do you think? :huh:


BTW, any clue on what the bridge pickup is?
(Neck is an old Jackson J-50 BC)
