1952 Gibson Les Paul
Black Magic Vintage is pleased to offer an absolutely insane, all original finish 1952/57 PAF conversion!
Routes and neck reset done by Jim @ Jam City; the best in the biz.
This thing smokes! TONS of flame show from under the original gold finish! This instrument is outfitted with a factory sealed matched set of 1957 (sticker-less) PAF's out of a broken ES-175. The entire harness, back plates, truss cover, pick guard, switch tip & knobs all remain original to the guitar.
The short seam stop tailpiece and ABR-1 are 1950's correct. The switch plate (poker chip), pickup rings & tuners are repro.
This PAF gold top remains unbroken with an amazing vibe that only 70+ of rocking can provide! The neck is a perfect med measuring .88 @ 1st and .99 @ 12th and feels amazing in the hand. This Les Paul is crazy light coming in at 8 lbs 4 oz.
The aforementioned factory sealed 1957 PAF's measure 7.29 N & 7.45 B respectively. They offer exceptional clarity and plenty of punch when pushed!
This example has fresh frets and is ready to gig tonight!
