1955 Gibson Les Paul Standard “Gold Top.” Serial
<B>1955 Gibson Les Paul Standard "Gold Top."</B></I> Serial number 5-8609. An exceptionally clean example of the classic Les Paul Standard from its fourth year of 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 exists 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 tail piece is considered by most rock and roll players as a great combination. The guitar offered is near museum quality and includes its original hard shell case and hang tags. Excellent Plus condition. <I>Accompanied by certificate of authenticity from nationally known expert Vintage Connection which in part states, "no breaks, repairs, or other issues" 100% original.</B></I> <I>From the Jimmy Crimmins 'Vintage Connection' Guitar Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Musical Instruments, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
