Repair/replaced parts history: Broken headstock repaired servicably (but not pretty). Original bridge/tailpiece switched for Gibson archtop bridge/tailpice setup. Current owner found and installed original style again. Jack plate different from what what he has seen on most Pauls. Original tuners were gone - it had Kluson 3 on a strip engine-turned tuners mounted. Current owner replaced them with repro Klusons. Truss rod cover was gone - had a wooden one in shape of Gibson b/w cover.
Refin/Overspray: Finish is as current owner found it. The gold was stripped and clear lacquer applied many years before he acquired the guitar. The vintage checking was already there. Current owner had guitar professionally refretted by Don Teeter. He also planed the fingerboard .010, grafted a rosewood patch into
the first fret fingerboard where there was an unusually deep pit, reset the inlays, and resoldered a
loose ground.
Additional Comments by current Owner: Early production - dot on the "i" attached to the "G", unbound fingerboard (which I like - I'm a D-28 fan) and diagonal pickup mounting screws on the bridge pickup.
I would like to find an original truss rod cover and
perhaps tuners and case although those don't really
affect the playability and tone. I would also like to
find a luthier to do a cleanup of the old neck repair
and perhaps redo the silkscreen logo.
I think Miss Polly has a nice curl on the bass side
and is unusual for an early goldtop in having a
center-seamed top, though not bookmatched. Plays and
sounds great after fret job.

The previous owner began to remove the trapeze tailpiece, so he unsoldered the earth wire from the tone pots, then changed his mind and resoldered them. Previous owner also flipped the magnets in either the bridge or neck pickup ("Green" mod).
Repair/replaced parts history: None, all stock, no repairs
