2009 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 52 Tribute (1952 Reissue) Gold Top, Near Mint, Hard, $2,995.00

2009 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Tribute. The only thing that stops this from being mint is one ding on the upper bout face which is repairable. 100% original without being molested. Beautiful dark rosewood fret board, aged binding, one piece chunky neck, P90's and the original designed tailpiece and bridge from Les' patent, not the tail piece Gibson released to the public in 52. It ships in a Gibson USA Reptile Case. I didn't get it with the Custom Shop Case or COA. This one is just a lil over 9lbs with the most luscious front pickup you will ever hear.

Gibson Recreated Les's Original Design, Masterfully Recreated

The passing of the incomparable Les Paul in August 2009 broke the hearts of guitar enthusiasts around the world. What can never be broken, though, is the legacy of innovation and creativity that he built during 94 years of constant musicianship. Though the original guitar he designed in 1952 has informed every Gibson guitar since, our engineers were inspired anew to handcraft a guitar just the way Les demanded it nearly 60 years ago. Never before has a Les Paul guitar been so completely designed to Les' original specifications. Until now. Anchored by a golden mahogany body, maple top and rosewood fingerboard, the Les Paul Tribute 1952 is equipped with an all-new bridge that's an exact replica of Les' original 1952 patent. Our luthiers have also added historical interest with details like stamping "prototype" into the back of the peg head and staying true to Les' preference for P-90 pickups. The Les Paul Tribute 1952 honors the most important figure in all of guitar history and the guitar he designed and loved.
