I recently posted a call for help about a gould les paul copy with three p/ups. no one has responded yet  maybe through snobbery or not but please help me if you can.

P.S. ageing parts (strat p/up covers etc in coffee and tea) does not work, five weeks with parts sitting in a bowl and all i managed to make was a new eco-system. nice furry green bits.

I doubt it is snobbery. :-)

 

I did do some searching and found Israeli versions of the guitar, but never found one that had three pickups on it, only 2 pickup models.

Matt,

I don't think it's snobbery, either. I did essentially the same search as Dan, and found a couple of 3 pup models on eBay from around 2007-2009, but could not determine their age or provenance. I just don't think that many were made; nearly all the others were 2 pup models, and even finding info on the company proved problematic ( for a lunch hour's worth of search time; I don't give up easily, but I can usually scrounge obscure info faster than this...).

I also had a look and found very little info.  I have a Gould Les Paul with 2 pickups that I bought 10 years ago from Emis Music in Bristol.  They still sell the Gould Brand (and second hand guitars) so maybe worth dropping an email to.
