Gibson Les Paul Custom originally purchased in March of 1959. The guitar retains its original electronics, hardware, and plastics, making it especially valuable to collectors and players alike. The three original gold-plated PAF pickups are a major draw, contributing to the guitar's signature sound. The inclusion of the original Lifton case with its distinctive yellow velvet interior is a great bonus, further increasing the guitar's authenticity and value. The guitar’s remarkable condition is noteworthy. The limited wear and chipping from buckle rash show that it has been carefully cared for, which is a rarity for instruments of this era.Year: 1958Brand: GibsonModel: Les Paul CustomFinish: Black Nitro (refinish)Body Material: Mahogany (original)Neck: Mahogany (Gibson Factory re-neck)Neck Profile: 1950's RoundedFingerboard: Ebony (original) with Block Inlays (original)Frets: Fretless Wonder wire (original).
