About This Listing

RARE Gibson Vintage 1955 Les Paul Goldtop. This All Gold Model is super clean if not Near Mint and all Original With Case Candy, Strap, Cord, Tags, Case Key, etc. 100% Original factory finish front and back. Amazing Find and is the cleanest one to be found anywhere with only a few very small edge dings on the back and one very small paint chip on the neck. Untouched electronics and solder joints. It's really in True collector condition. Original Brown/Pink Cali Case is in great condition, as well.

This guitar also features what is referred to as the All-Gold Finish. Unlike most examples which feature a Natural Mahogany Body and Neck this guitar’s Neck and Body have been finished in the same Gold as the Top of the Guitar. This is also one of the very rare "all gold" Les Pauls, a non-catalog variation that inexplicably pops up on some guitars from this period but is much rarer then the standard natural back and sides usually encountered.

According to Gibson’s Records 862 Les Paul Standard Model Guitars were shipped in 1955. 1955 marks the pinnacle of the Les Paul Goldtop with wrap around bridge and P90s. Gibson had perfected the design, the neck angle, the headstock pitch, and the stop tail wrap around bridge.

All that glitters is surely gold and if gold is what you seek you will not be disappointed with this near mint example...
