Description
1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard. A gorgeous goldtop with vibe for days. The color on the top is still vibrant with very little greening. The guitar is all original except for one replaced bridge saddle. Everything else is totally as the guitar left Kalamazoo. All the solder joints on the CentraLab pots are the originals from '57. A pair of Bumblebee caps are present for dialing in your tone. The PAF pickups are the originals and they're pre-sticker. The pickups are on the hot side with outputs of 8.3K for the neck and 8.7K for the bridge. The neck's a nice full "C" carve with a great feel. It's really hard to put this guitar down. It's one of those necks that just invites you to play, and not stop for hours. The body and neck of the guitar feature the "Natural" mahogany finish and have aged beautifully. There's a bit of belt buckle wear and that just adds to the cool patina of the instrument. As far as the tone of this thing's concerned, it's reference tone. This is one of the most killer sounding Les Pauls we've had in quite a while.
