Used 2010 Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition '55 Les Paul Historic Electric Guitar Cherry Sunburst

Used 2010 Limited Edition '55 Les Paul Historic Electric Guitar Cherry Sunburst Item Description

We have a very unusual preowned 2010 Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition '55 Les Paul "Refin" guitar in excellent condition. We know you're looking at this picture and attempting to make sense of a '55 Les Paul with humbuckers and a Cherry Sunburst finish, so allow us to debunk the mystery. Over the years, a good number of early/mid '50s Les Paul Gold Tops were "converted" to the specs of a '58, '59, or '60 standard Les Paul with a sunburst finish. The Gold Tops would be stripped of the gold color and refinished with Cherry Sunburst, while the pickups cavities were re-routed to fit humbuckers in place of the original P-90s.

This particular guitar has all of the features of a real '55 conversion. Actually, it's quite impressive how Gibson Custom captured some minute details that would appear on a real conversion, such as the two-piece plain maple top with a seam that isn't perfectly in the center, and the natural gloss finish (not the cherry shade used on the late '50s/'60 bursts) on the back and sides and looking very Gold Top! Features include a soft shoulder '55 neck profile, a tune-o-matic/stopbar bridge and tailpiece with TonePros long steel anchors and long locking studs, Burst Bucker 1 and 2 humbucker pickups for the neck and bridge respectively, Kluson tuners, period-correct electronics, and nickel hardware. Weight is 9 pounds, 3 ounces.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
