Gibson Les Paul GoldTop, 1954

On June 15, 2023 /

Here is a beautiful rarity, a real treat – a Gibson Les Paul GoldTop from 1954, and not just with a gold top but fully gold finished! This was known as the ‘Double Gold’ finish. This beautiful piece has clearly been used as intended over nearly seven decades, and the gold finish has worn where the player’s hands and clothing contacted it.

Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 Pelham Blue, 2018

On June 9, 2023 /

The Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 hearkens back to the 1954 models when the tune-o-matic and stop tailpiece combination were introduced. A big difference is the Pelham Blue finish instead of a gold top! Built during 2018 at Gibson Nashville, this Gibson Les Paul Classic is excellent, clean and all original condition, with virtually no wear. It appears nearly unplayed.

Built in the Nashville Custom Shop, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue is a faithful recreation of a simple yet surprisingly versatile instrument. Launched in 1954 as an entry level, student model with a single cutaway and single P90 pickup, the Les Paul Junior had its first major revision in 1958 with a second cutaway to the body.

Gibson Les Paul Junior DC Cherry, 1961

The Gibson Les Paul Junior DC – Double Cutaway – appeared in 1958 as a modification of the 1954 single-cutaway version. The next modification came partway through 1961 with a complete redesign of the body as Gibson shifted to what’s now known as the SG.

Gibson ES-295 Archtop Electric Double Gold, 1953

On January 7, 2023 /

This is a wonderful rarity. Built during 1953, this is an early Gibson ES-295 in good, clean and largely original condition, showing some honest finish wear and tear from real use over the decades. It’s easy to confuse the Gibson ES-295 with the classic ES-175, and there’s a good reason – they are the same guitar, but the ES-295 has a double gold finish and when introduced, two pickups instead of one.

Gibson Les Paul Special Cherry, 2010

On December 14, 2022 /

The Gibson Les Paul Special first appeared in 1955, as the fourth version of the now-classic model. The first was the 1952 Gold-Top Les Paul, which was revised in 1953 and 1954 to allow for a steeper neck angle and the introduction of first a stop-bar bridge and then the Tune-O-Matic and stop tailpiece combination.
