1953 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop

SOLD

1953 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Not a single issue. Sounds like a grand piano. Yes, it includes the brown Lifton case. Yes, it’s under 9lb. Yes, it rocks.

100% original, all solder joints original. You all know trapeze LP’s are hard to play with the factory bridge. But some pure genius made a trapeze bar like the one it has now, requiring no extra drills, no irreversible changes, but plug-n-play… and voilá. You’ve got yourself a non-floating, stoptail-like playing Les Paul. The bar wasn’t cheap but it’s included, and so is the original one. You can palm mute, and play it exactly a normal stoptail LP. Brilliant!

The sound is amazing, btw. Very harmonic, very clear, easy to distinguish all strings, and very responsive to your playing. Setups beautifully with low action.

Condition is fantastic. A few dings here and there but no greening anywhere. Weights 3853gr, making it a quite lightweight LP! Nice full neck, but not a baseball bat at all.

Has a 3xx format serial number and one of the very first ones to ever include the poker chip.

Includes an original 4-latch brown Lifton case (Gibson logo) with lovely pink inteior in exceptional condition as well.

What else can you ask for?
