Gibson's Take:From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul™ Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals. It features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.Standard Specifications General Info Brand:GibsonModel:1954 Les Paul Standard Heavy AgedColor:Double GoldSerial:44549Weight:CallCondition:Call  BodyTop Material:2-Piece Plain Maple, Hide Glue FitBody Material:1-Piece Lightweight MahoganyFinish:Nitrocellulose Lacquer; Murphy Lab Heavy Aged NeckMaterial:Solid Mahogany Finish:Nitrocellulose Lacquer; Murphy Lab Light AgedFingerboard Material/Radius:Indian Rosewood; 12" Frets (Number and Size):Historic Gibson Narrow/TallInlays:Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid Nut (Material and Width):Nylon, 1.69"Scale Length:24.75"Profile:50s Rounded Medium C ElectronicsPickups: 2 x Custom Soapbar P-90sPickup Switching:3-Way Switchcraft Controls:2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS 500K Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitators HardwareTuning Machines:Kluson Single Line, Single Ring Bridge:Wraparound Pickguard: Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Control Knobs:Gold Butyrate Top Hats Hardware Finish:Nickel; Murphy Lab Heavy Aged AccessoriesHardshell Case
