Model Year: 2013 Model: Les Paul Gold Top


Gorgeous 2013 Gibson Signature T Les Paul Gold Top in Excellent Condition!  9.8 out of 10!  It has been upgraded with solderless quick connect Burstbucker Pros that are considered by many as Gibson's best pickups.  Burstbucker Pros (Alnico 5 wax potted) come on the Les Paul Standard!  The guitar had open coil 57 Classic (Alnico 2) pickups.  The Signature T (Street $2,049)  was more than the Classic and Traditional Pro, but below the Standard (Street $2,499) in price.  It also comes with this amazing gold 100th anniversary hard shell case. Has lots of pocket/storage space.The entire electronics have been upgraded to the solderless quick connect system so you can interchange pickups easily.  The 2013 Les Paul Standard comes with the solderless system.  I am a certified luthier and a graduate of the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery  (roberto-venn.com) so I also carved a beautiful bone nut for the guitar.  I basically made this into a Les Paul Standard.  The pickups are also coil-splitting through the volume pots (push/pull).  Original tuner knobs were keystone so I changed them to oval.  Original knobs come with the guitar.  Also, case candy and original paperwork comes with the guitar.  2017 Les Paul Standard T sells for $2,799!   Save $1,300 from a new standard!  Same electronics and neck, etc.  The guitar has very, very little play and wear on it.  It has a few tiny nicks and scratches that don't show on photos and are almost not there. There is zero fret wear.  I just put a brand new set of D'Addario 10-46's and did a complete set up on it.  It has low action, super straight slim 60's (.800-.875") neck and is a beautifully finished gold top!  The pictures do not give it justice!  18:1 locking Grover tuners.  This model is weight relieved and chambered but it doesn't feel like it.  It weighs a solid 10.25 lbs.  Great sustain! , incredible meaty tone with this one, and very cool single coolsounds as well. extremely versatile.I have 100% positive feedback, so buy with confidence.  It will be carefully packaged and shipped.  Here's the original write up on the Signature T.  Keep in mind the upgrades I made that would make it a little different.   Good Luck US 48 and Paypal onlyGibson USA is celebrating 2013 as the Year of Les Paul, and there’s no better tribute than a guitar dedicated to the man himself. The Les Paul Signature “T” wraps all of Les Paul’s legendary innovation into a sweet looking and great sounding Les Paul that honors the memory of this legendary guitar’s inventor, while providing an instrument primed for the power and versatility demanded by today’s gigging guitarist. Traditional tonewoods are married to enhanced playing comfort and two of Gibson’s finest PAF-style humbucking pickups, with upgraded switching for bonus single-coil tones. The Grade-AA figured maple top looks great beneath your choice of Translucent Ebony, Alpine White Burst, Wine Red, or Vintage Sunburst finish, all in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Or select a classic Goldtop finish. To kick it all into the 21st century—and remember, Les Paul was an innovator first and foremost—the Les Paul Signature “T” is also available with optional Min-ETune™ automated “robot” tuning, which can be added to your guitar with no internal modification for a nominal upcharge. The Les Paul Signature “T” is available in a left-handed model, and you can add extra class to this tribute to the man himself by opting for the Les Paul Signature “T” Gold Series, with the elegance of gold-plated hardware. The Les Paul Signature “T” is built on a foundation of the same traditional tonewood combination that helped to make the Les Paul Standard legendary when it first arrived six decades ago. A carved solid Grade-AA figured maple top lends bite and articulation to the sound, while a select mahogany back—treated with Gibson’s traditional weight relief to increase playing comfort and enhance resonance—contributes superb warmth and depth. A solid, quarter-sawn mahogany neck is glued in and carved in the fast 60s SlimTaper™ profile, and topped with a rich brown Grade-A Granadillo fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays. Traditional touches include cream body and fingerboard binding, pickguard, and pickup rings, along with gold Speed Knobs and a black “bell” truss-rod cover with commemorative “T” engraving. Classic Gibson construction ensures optimum playability, too, along with traditional specs like a 24 ¾” scale length, a 1 11/16” width across the PLEK-cut Corian™ nut, and a 12-inch fingerboard radius for smooth, easy bending. For a blend of vintage tone and modern versatility, the Les Paul Signature “T” is loaded with a pair of Gibson’s ’57 Classic™ pickups, mounted “open coil” for a subtle hotrod look. Both are made in the image of the hallowed PAF humbucker of the late 1950s with Alnico II magnets in the neck position for plenty of warmth and clarity, and in the bridge position, the ’57 Classic Plus™ which features slightly over-wound coils for juicy crunch and wailing lead tones. Both pickups are wax potted, too, to avoid microphonic squeal at high volume levels. Both pickups feature push-pull tone controls which provide coil splitting for authentic single-coil tones. The innovative pairing of a Tune-o-Matic™ bridge and Stopbar tailpiece ensures solid sustain and precise intonation, while a set of high-quality Grover™ locking tuners ensures smooth, accurate tuning.
