Gibson Les Paul 1953 - 1957 - Gold

1953 to 1957 Goldtop conversion

This Goldtop's finish is fully original and there are no cracks, breaks or repairs. 

It was converted by Jim Weyandt at JamCity guitars. Jim is widely heralded as being one of the absolute BEST in the business of converting and restoring 1950's Les Pauls. His methods are meticulous and time tested. 

Most of the parts on this Les Paul are either original to the guitar or are 1950's parts. We did our absolute best to go "all out" on this one and the result is phenomenal!!!
