1954 Gibson Les Paul Standard Gold Top Electric Guitar

Original 1954 Gibson Les Paul Standard Gold Top electric guitar, serial No. 40487. Guitar is 100% original including its P90 pickups. In very good condition, with some chipping to edges of body, expected wear to the fret board, pick marks to the body and a bit of light surface loss to top left of the headstock. Guitar comes in its original brown leather Gibson case. Musicians Robbie Krieger, Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Buddy Holly, Stone Gossard, Gary Rossington, and Rich Robinson all used this style guitar as their main ‘axe.’ Gibson even made a reissue because the sound quality was so impressive. These early models have enjoyed a resurgence lately and are becoming increasingly more desirable. RR Auction COA.
