The Story

Used 2013 '56 Historic Les Paul Electric Guitar Goldtop

This Gibson 2013 Historic Reissue '56 Les Paul is a beauty! The newer Historic series was first introduced in 2013, and features a boatload of vintage correct appointments and flare. 2013 model-year specifications include one piece rosewood fingerboards, a hide glue neck joint, re-shaped vintage accurate Kluson tuners, Historic truss rod assembly, accurate binding color, and a top and back color change to more closely match the original. Of course this '56 Les Paul also features a pair of timeless Gibson P-90s, a solid mahogany body, CTS / Bumblebee electronics, and of course, a nice chunky '50s neck profile! This used '56 Les Paul is in very good condition - it has a few small worms on the back that you can only see under direct light, but otherwise it's very clean and lightly played with few cosmetic issues. It includes the original case, COA, hang tags, and paperwork.

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