In 1952 Gibson introduced the Les Paul model guitar. This first year example is very clean for a 72 year old guitar. The guitar is all original with the exception of the wrap around bridge that was added for playability. The original bridge is in the case as well as the original bill of sale. The chunky C neck plays well with a low action. The P-90 pickups are crisp and have a strong output. 

Weight 8.90 lbs

No Serial, comes with original Lifton case and tan Gator gig bag.
