Gibson Deluxe Gold Tuners – Patent Applied For, Near Mint Majesty 1956 - Gold
Before the ink was dry on the patent papers, Kluson was already making magic. These 1956 “PAT. APPLD.” gold-plated single-line tuners are from that brief, glorious in-between — the twilight of early ’50s craftsmanship and the dawn of Burst-era brilliance.
The plating? Still radiant, like it spent decades in a velvet case instead of a smoky bar. The keystone buttons? Creamy and intact, showing none of the usual celluloid crumble. The gears? Turn as smooth as Chet Atkins on a Sunday morning.
This is the set you want if you’re restoring a Les Paul Custom, ES-295, or L-5 that deserves nothing short of the real thing. These aren’t relics of the road — they’re survivors of time.
Authentic, exceptional, and unapologetically golden.
