Gibson Les Paul Model, 1956 original stop tail/ABR-1 guitar, no breaks or Bigsby holes, original gold finish, a PAF installation that could be improved upon, refretted, planed fingerboard, original 1/2" stop bushings replaced with original 1959 1" bushings and period correct original long stud bolts, all other hardware original to the guitar with the exception of the PAF's and reproduction rings, nut and the output jack. Jack is original period correct but not original to this guitar. Original frets, nut and bushings included in the sale. The guitar resides in an excellent original 50’s 5 latch Lifton case and has a modern case cover. One of the PAF's is a long lead zebra with untouched solder joints, the other PAF is a double black with an original cover that was removed then replaced. Sounds like it should. $27,500 via bank wire+ shipping CONUS only. Exhaustive in hand description and photo set available upon request. Offered to private parties as well as this forum.
