Gibson / Les Paul -1957 Goldtop / 1952 / Guitar

The Les Paul was first produced in 1952 and is an iconic guitar in the history of the Gibson's most famous guitar. This Les Paul from 1952 has the fabulous 'All Gold' finish that is extraordinary and makes this Gibson even more special than it already was. This Gibson Les Paul from 1952 is a very good example. This Les Paul has been converted to a Les Paul from 1957 and has two Patent No. humbuckers from the 70s, with a shaved ABR-1 bridge and a custom tailtail tailpiece, to ensure that this Gibson with its shallow neck angle obtains great playability and retains its incredible sound. The Goldtop's coating is beautifully faded, completely original and crackled over the years and this is really a copy where every relic job tries to get close, but where it never really works, because it is not real. The lacquer layer is completely original. The Patent Number Gibson pickups sound fantastic. Although there is a huge hype around PAFs, these pickups are greatly underestimated. The Pat. numbers are more balanced and have more highs, which makes them more lively. The pots are completely original including the Tiger caps and wiring. Even the Speed ​​knobs are original and contribute to the great look of this Goldtop. The tuning machines are also completely original and still works as good as the day this Les Paul left the factory. The tuners are perfect replicas of the original tuners, and the original tuners stil accompany the guitar and can be found in its case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
