From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals.
This Les Paul is a very comfortable 8.2lbs and plays great with a nice chunky neck! There is no fret wear to note and just some light scratches on the pickguard as far as play wear goes.
Includes its original hard shell case.
