This here is my original '55 Les Paul, and she's everything she's cracked up to be. I have owned her for 20 years and the only thing I did to her was replace an aftermarket poker chip with a repro chip, and a give her a refret with period correct smaller frets by my luthier here in L.A. All you see is honest play wear, everything happened before I got her. Yes, there are some nicks, dings, small pieces of binding missing, crazing all over. One replaced capacitor. Strap pin added. A couple strange cuts underneath chip. That's how you know she's original, finish, tuners, guard, PU's, knobs, etc. She's actually beautiful to feel and play, and she can truly do it all. She feels and sounds amazing, and weighs a manageable 8 pounds. (Weighed on 2 different scales in my house, either 8 or 8.1.) There is no substitute for an original. She’s truly got the mojo. Comes with her original case, in good-fair condition. I do zoom demos if you are interested. Thanks.
