1952 Gibson Les Paul 52-57 PAF Conversion
Description
If you are looking for an Old Wood Les Paul with original PAF's then check this one out. The guitar started out as an all original 1952 P90 Goldtop Les Paul. All the woods, (mahogany body, maple top, mahogany neck, Brazilian fingerboard, Holly Veneer, Inlays, Body Binding, MOP Gibson Headstock Inlay)) are original to the guitar. Small neck binding repair on the bass side from nut to the 3rd fret. The guitar has the original finish from the Gibson factory. There was a small crack on the back of the headstock that I repaired. It’s been solid and after the repair it is hardly noticeable. The guitar is lightweight at 8lbs. and is super resonant.
