1952 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop 00853

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).

[TheJUGGERNAUT987]

phil, what is it like holding all of these pieces of history?

[mrmushbrain]

@TheShyTeds thats a fair trade

[Mrguitarzeus]

What years it from

[eggbertsmith]

There are only around $20,000, which is surprising considering what they are, when they are from, and the historic value. But look at the tail, good luck doing any mutes.

These are for collectors. Not a great choice for a player.

i think the tailpiece is the best part of the old style les paul..
