1955 Gibson Les Paul - Goldtop

55676

The Les Paul evolved through the 1950’s as practical improvements were introduced. By 1954 the bridge had been modified from the original trapeze/bridge tailpiece designed by Les Paul. This first change in late 1953 was the wrap-around stop bar tailpiece screwed right into the guitar’s top. This increased sustain, and allowed for palm muting the strings.

This example is also finish in gold on the back.
