Lovely !
The bottom one doesn't have neck binding ? and what are those screws on the bridge P90 ?

and what are those screws on the bridge P90

looks like height adjustment screws, which is weird as the neck has them in the normal spot for non-dogear p-90s. no binding is rather odd for a gold top too,

BoYeYeYeeNg!

the very early run of '52 had no neck biding and diagonal screw on the P90s

they also had to serial numbers on the back of the headstocks.

originality is usually determined by a number of things individual to that run, shortly after, they got serial numbers (and eventually a wraptail tailpiece and then a TOM)

They had a D&B 52 for awhile @ fly by nite.

dots and binding?? 

that must of been someone customising the guitar after purchase, as far as I know they never made trapeze tailpiece LPs with dots and binding

maybe it was a 50s Special?

they had dots and binding (and wraptails)

I donno, it's been awhile. I'll ask Danny next time I'm up that way.
