This totally original Les Paul Standard Gold Top weighs just 8.70 lbs. Solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, one-piece mahogany neck with a medium-to-thick thick profile and a nice fat nut width of 1 11/16 inches. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with pearl crown position markers and twenty-two original frets. Two hot P-90 pickups with outputs of 8.38k and 7.58k. Combination "wrap-under" trapeze tailpiece. Overall this fifty-seven year old 'first-year' Les Paul is in totally original (8.75) excellent plus condition. This example is quite unusual in that it has an excellent neck angle - allowing for a very low string action - just like a '53. Original Gibson brown four-latch hardshell case with pink plush lining (8.00).
