1955 Gibson Les Paul "GoldTop" Serial number 5-8609 An exceptionally clean example of the classic Les Paul Standard from it's fourth year in production. 1955 was a transitional year for the Les Paul model in which the wrap around bridge tailpiece from the fall of 1955 was changed to the standard tune-o-matic bridge that exits today. This example is an earlier 1955 with a standard wrap around bridge and also features earlier style "speed" knobs, which would be replaced later in 1955 for "bonnet" style knobs. The combination of p-90 pickups and wrap around tailpiece is considered by most "rock and roll" players as a great combination. The guitar offered is in excellent condition with only slight checking. Includes its original hardshell case and hang tags.
