Body Color: Gold Brand: Gibson


Nice late 50's fat neck with plenty of fret life left. The fretboard is in relatively good condition for a 58-year-old guitar but could use a little TLC.
Details:  Headstock refinished satin black, original Gibson water slide logo, then clear coated.  Serial number was re-stamped ink. Tuners are Gibson Deluxe square back (made by Grover).  The body of the guitar was refinished with Gibson Les Paul Goldtop paint, 7 coats and then 5 clear coats.  The pickguard is a reproduction of the original.  The pickup is a genuine Gibson P-90 from 1995. Pots are CTS and if I remember correctly the capacitor is an Orange Drop .22.  The knobs are genuine Gibson reproduction barrel knobs.Currently has an original Leo Quan tuneable tailpiece.  I don't have the original but I do have a mid-60's compensated tailpiece I'll throw in with the deal.Unfortunately the original case fell apart years ago. The case shown in picture 1 DOES NOT come with the guitar. NO CASE INCLUDED, will ship in a gig bag.
