You get this jaw-dropping 1956 Gibson Les Paul Model, a true golden era treasure that oozes tone, vibe, and collectibility! Tipping the scales at a slim 8 lbs 8 oz, this Goldtop is the complete package! It sports a killer set of P-90s that deliver raw yet articulate power and tone, the ever-desirable ABR-1 bridge for improved intonation and sustain, and a neck profile every player dreams of. This guitar is 100% original from every solder joint down to the original frets, and despite having the smaller factory frets, this beauty still plays like a dream. Proof that sometimes you can have it all, playability and collectibility. The finish has aged beautifully, with just the right amount of honest wear and patina, but no significant chips or worn-through spots; just a lifetime of gigs, sessions, and stories etched into it. To top it all off, it is accompanied by its original 4-latch “Cali Girl” case, complete with an infamous toggle switch “bullet hole.” So if you’re hunting for the ultimate ABR-1 P-90 Goldtop, your hunt is over; this one is ready to inspire on any stage or in any collection!
