Description

This 1953 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop has been converted to a stop tailpiece, enhancing its sustain and playability while retaining its vintage character. It has undergone a professional headstock repair and features a set of 1970s P90 pickups, delivering classic, dynamic tones with plenty of warmth and bite. The beautifully aged gold finish, mahogany body with a carved maple top, and chunky ’50s neck profile contribute to its rich resonance and comfortable feel. With its rich resonance, vintage mojo, and historical significance, this Goldtop embodies the timeless appeal of Gibson’s early solid-body designs. For the full repair history, check out the Specs tab. Includes an Ameritage hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
