CONDITION AND PRICING PLEASE READ:

All electronics work and are original.. very clean guitar.  The Frets are ok but here is what my luthier said.  The neck is slightly bowed on low E side and straight on high E side which he states can be fixed by replacing frets and compensating for this.  The truss rod works fine but will not adjust for this. 

This currently is causing a little buzzing halfway up the neck.  I am showing as much as I can in the 24 pics allowed by Ebay.  I am selling “as is “. 

**THE 2023 VINTAGE GUITAR GUIDE HAS THIS GUITAR AT $13,400 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.   DUE TO THE WORK THAT SHOULD BE DONE, I AM CONSIDERING BEST OFFERS.  BUY NOW PRICE OR BEST OFFER GO FOR IT.

 

Original P-90 pickups with "Gibson" 58/54 embossed pickup covers, Original Hard-Shell Gibson Case and HANG TAG with blank warrantee card.

Gibson Les Paul Goldtop P90 58 Reissue electric guitar from 1971. This was one of the first reissue instruments Gibson built and although it was called the "Standard ´58" it is more like a reissue of the 1954 Les Paul, but Gibson called it the ”Sandard 58” reissue. In excellent, all original condition Except issue described above with original 1971 pots, They certainly did their best on these reissue's, it features a nice and chunky 1-piece mahogany neck, mahogany body with carved maple top, bound rosewood fretboard with pearl trapezoid inlays, double-line double-ring Kluson tuners, small 50s style headstock, cream body bindings, lightweight aluminium tailpiece, white pickguard and two great sounding Gibson stamped P-90s with cream covers and pickup rings. Just 25 of these were made in 1971 which makes this an extremely rare and collectable Les Paul Model. Included is the original Gibson case.

 

She sports a one-piece mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck with no volute.   Offered as a 1958 reissue, the factory specs directly reflected a 1954-55 Les Paul Standard. Outfitted with the original pair of clear bobbin P-90 pickups with cream “Gibson” embossed covers, this Les Paul has a glassy, dynamic quality, bringing to the fore the rich, midrange growl associated with the overwound P-90 design.

 

 

Pots and serial number clearly shows this is a 1971. These all-original pots are mostly covered with solder but piecing together I see two of them confirming 1377142 meaning it was produced the 42nd week of 1971.  This Goldtop Les Paul guitar is surely already an absolute rarity for collectors – Clearly this will be a great investment.
