Description

1953 Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop Solid Body Electric Guitar, Serial #3 1232.
This 1953 Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop is a player-grade instrument with a number of modifications over its long life. The pots have been partially replaced, with one from 1974 and two from 1969, while one pot appears to be original, along with the original pickups. The tuners have been upgraded to Grovers, and the neck has been refretted. The guitar has been oversprayed, displaying a poly-style finish with light checking throughout. This Goldtop could benefit from light restoration. It comes with its original hard case, which is in fair condition and missing the inside pocket.
9.20lbs. Original hard case included. Condition: Very Good.
