SOLD! - 1956-1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Burst PAF conversion 3.8Kg

Renowned luthier Yuuki McClure of Player Grade Vintage, London, UK, has weaved his wizardry magic to breathe new life into this old Les Paul and boy, has he done a mighty fine job of it too!!
 
Yuuki turned an original '56 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop which was in a really neglected and sorry state into this amazing rich and snappy sounding '59 conversion which has ‘that real' Burst tone in spades. And this isn’t a common thing at all by the way! It’s a big rich sounding guitar with lots of airy harmonic overtones and a touch of hair and edge.
