Description
This 1953 Les Paul is a late-year model with the specs that became standard in 1954 - opting for the wraparound stop tail tailpiece over the traditional trapeze. The presence of the 3-strand wiring confirms this as well. The original P-90s and electronics absolutely sing with serious sustain. A recent refret performed by our in-house repair team has it playing great, with its comfortable medium-sized neck. The jack plate has been replaced and the jack hole slightly modified, the bridge bushings have been replaced (originals included in the case) and the tuner buttons were swapped.
Includes Lifton hard shell case.
