          LES PAUL CUSTOM 1956

               BLACK BEAUTY

                      

                     

This is one great guitar, highly desirable, has the 1 x p90 and the 1 x alnico pickup, body is all mahogany giving it a smoother jazzy sound some would say, although this guitar still rocks, Clapton played one on stage as well...the fretboard is ebony and these were the first les pauls to feature the split diamond logo on the headstock, pickguard is black and white multi layered, has the tunamatic and stop tailpiece, all fittings are gold plated and of course show wear, but in general the guitar shows little playing wear but on the top there are a few tiny dings where it would seem at some stage the player had a gold wrist chain on and this caused all those little dents you can see to the left of the E6 string, the tuners have been replaced with replica's but I will try and locate some authentic ones, but in the meantime it's sold with these, case is original as well, all electrics/pots/bumble bee's are original as well, a great playing guitar that does appreciate significantly and one that would add a great prestige to your collection...a rare guitar to find globally and especially here in Oz, I would love to see this guitar stay here in Australia....please call me personally to find out more about this wonderful highly collectable masterpiece..
