Description

Nowhere short of impressive, this Goldtop is a stunning gold finish all over. The subtle wear on this guitar tells the story of a lifetime of play and love from its owners as it continues to bring a smile to anyone that plays it. This guitar has a wonderful clarity and attack from the P90 pickups. The only modification was a Gretsch style strap button on the upper bass horn; keeping it installed is a nod to its previous owner. The bridge/trapeze system was never converted, but a simple non-invasive system exists from Music City Bridge should the next owner choose to top wrap.Typically seen with a mahogany back, this guitar was fully finished with the iconic gold paint at the factory; making it a very early example of this phenomenon. It has aged beautifully and shows some areas of oxidation. The neck is extremely comfortable to play and overall the Les Paul is a very well balanced instrument.Comes with the original Lifton hardshell case
