Beautiful, great sounding and very honest player grade late 53 Les Paul Goldtop (wrap around), converted to 57 specs.
If you are looking for a player grade 50s Les Paul you should really check out this guitar. It is a killer sounding and playing guitar with super comfy medium size neck and a strong tonal foundation. It has all the clarity and dynamics you'd expect from a 50s LP with a solid low end punch that translate to a great growling PAF tone on your amp.
This one has been played its entire life. You can hear it and feel it.
Quite a bit of work has been done (see list below) and it has been lovingly restored and aged to match its wild history. Vintage parts in all the right places, new and reliable repro parts where it makes sense.
It has the look, it has the feel and it has the sound.
