Gibson Les Paul 1952, Gold Top

This 1952 Goldtop is a wonderfully preserved early Les Paul, completely original aside from the pickup selector. The finish shows gorgeous, authentic checking that only seven decades can produce. Its neck is a standout—one of the most comfortable deep-but-round V profiles we’ve ever come across, a shape that feels substantial yet remarkably natural in the hand. The early wrap-under bridge design is a fascinating piece of Gibson history, visually striking and unmistakably “first-generation Les Paul.” It comes housed in its original Geib hard shell case, completing an exceptional and evocative vintage package.
