This exceptionally fine and totally original guitar weighs 9.20 lbs. Solid mahogany body with a carved maple top. One-piece mahogany neck with a wonderfully fat profile, and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard with pearl crown position markers. Two screaming P-90 pickups with outputs of 7.76k and 7.89k. Combination "wrap-over" bar bridge/stud tailpiece. This totally original '54 Les Paul Standard Gold Top -- with a neck and a sound to die for -- is the one of the best that we have ever seen. The potentiometers are stamped "134 319" and "134 327" (Centralab May and July 1953) and has the "Grey Tiger" capacitors, which preceded the later "Bumble-Bees." Housed in the original four-latch brown hardshell case. with pink plush lining (9.25). Many guitarists consider this to be the ultimate "blues machine" -- the sustain on this guitar is quite unbelievable!
