Joe Bonamassa has played it at the music shop in Denver where I purchased it from when he was in town and stopped by the shop according to the guitar shop owner, as per conversation with the guitar shop owner. Data from Gibson Has given this info to be one of the 1st 52 Goldtops made with the wrap a round Gold color and in the cavity there is an extra hole on the left. I have some paperwork from guitar store owner. Gibson was going to feed the wires thru it but ended up not using this design. This hole is in the first few Les Pauls ever made. I was told this guitar was professionally refinished in the 60's and the Bigsby was added to the guitar at that time. Original gold finish can be seen in control cavities. It now has a Tun-a-magic bridge with Bridge posts into the body…new electronics, jack and caps. Tuners have been changed and keep the guitar in tune. Four speed Knobs are original, strap buttons original, and switch are original a Back Plate Plastic I believe is original. Pick guard is original 1952 with mods for humbuckers.
