FIRST YEAR INTEGRATED "WRAPAROUND" BRIDGE/TAILPIECE!

Another of our fine "benchmark" selections of vintage guitars! 1954 was a critical year for the Gibson Les Paul Model. It was the first full year for the integrated “wraparound” tailpiece/bridge unit – additionally, the neck set changed to a slightly deeper angle - these two changes combined to exponentially improve both tone and playability.

Yet a second "benchmark!"

This example is one of the rare “All-Gold Finish” models – top, back, sides and neck are all finished in gold. It is in good condition, with finish wear typical of all-gold models (and the reason Gibson discontinued the practice). These examples are fairly rare yet not priced far above standard "Goldtops" - and a reasonably-priced way to complete a Gibson Les Paul collection!

Finish wear does not affect tone or playability, and this one has both - strong “soapbar” P-90 pickups, bound neck, and the deeper neck set angle adds to the sustain and tonal complexity. Comes with original Gibson brown hardshell case. It has had a professional refret with the original-size frets, and weighs in at 9.0 pounds.

We enjoy offering benchmark instruments like this for your collection at an affordable price.
