Black Magic Vintage is pleased to offer another incredible PAF conversion! 

This 1953/58 Les Paul features its all original factory finish with the type of genuine patina only years of service can provide. It was converted by Jam City over 25 years ago for a friend of ours. 

This instrument features all vintage parts less the pickup rings, only. It has had a fairly recent refret and plays perfectly up & down the board. The neck is juicy and full measuring .91 - 1.04 with slight shoulders, it's absolutely fantastic! The PAF's are particularly great in this guitar offering a broad and punchy sonic landscape. They measure 7.7 N & 8.8 B. This Les Paul CUTS through the mix with ease! It weighs a perfectly balanced & very easy on the shoulder 8 lbs 8oz.

The no line tuners are period with original tips, this instrument did have Schaller's on at one time. The no wire ABR-1 features original saddles. The tailpiece is from 1965. The OG pick guard was cut to accommodate PAF's. The plate, switch tip, truss cover, jack plate, etc are all original to the guitar. The harness is period as are the Bumblebee's & Bonnet knobs to finish off the transition to 1958 specs. Finally this instrument was upgraded with a beautiful 4 latch stone case. 

This one is absolutely rare and incredible friends, all original finish guitar with all vintage parts is very difficult to find these days!
