The Story

1956 Les Paul 'Golden Staple' Ultra Light Aged Made 2 Measure

This is a real Rocker that we're excited to see come to life: a Music Zoo Spec'd Made 2 Measure '56 Les Paul that we're dubbing the "Golden Staple". We took the base model of a '56 Les Paul Goldtop and modified the neck pickup to be a Staple P-90 like you would find in a '54 Custom, and changed the bridge pickup to be a Gibson Custom Bucker, all while keeping the plastics black to contrast nicely with the Goldtop finish. Add in the Ultra Light Murphy Lab aging to add some patina to the hardware and lacquer checking lines to the finish, and you have one good looking Les Paul that's built to cover a lot of ground. Make this special one yours fast!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
