From your first post:

It's a Les Paul copy with P90 type pickups.
Your words, my underlining.


Copy being the key word. That's what made me think of the diagonal placed pup. Most of the P-90 style pups were soap bar style so they wouldn't have had the same style brackets as the usual humbuckers.

Any chance of a photo we could look at? That would help a lot.

Here's why....."vintage" means a lot of things to different people.

Which is yours? I am guessing yours is more like the '57, single cut-away, or one of the even earlier models similar to the original Gold Top LP with the old style stop bar and no bridge . But just to give an example of the term "vintage", these 3 are ALL listed as Vintage Les Pauls.

On the '57, the pups are parallel, it's the Bridge that is angled.

Just trying to help.
