Guys and Gals,
I do love guitar talk. I've got a 1973 Les Paul Custom that I use for most of my recordings. I bought it in 76 for $500 (lot of money back then). It's cherry sunburst with gold hardware.

I've got a 69 335 that's got a few mods that were probably done in the late 70's early 80's. The pickups are date stamped 1979 and look to be the original version of the Gibson "dirty fingers" pickup. It's got a tobacco sunburst front and I believe a walnut back, unique guitar all around with a very distinct sound.
I've still got the 1st electric that I ever owned, a 1967 Gretsch silver anniversary. One of the easiest guitars to learn to play on.
I've never owned a fender but might like to someday.
Good thread,
Rick
