COA and all case items are with it.. .Leather Custom Shop case included....The 1956 Les Paul Goldtop from the Gibson Custom Shop is presented with all the historically accurate appointments and legendary tone of the original. No detail is overlooked, starting with the Les Paul's traditional hand-carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1956, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon"one of the Les Paul's more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size of color of the originals. Also significant are two of Gibson's legendary P-90 singlecoil pickups, providing all the punch and raw power that made the 1956 Les Paul Goldtop the guitar of choice for many early electric blues players. The guitar's Antique Gold finish also matches the hue of the earliest versions, giving this Custom Shop model the accurate and distinct appearance of this traditional Les Paul. Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, rolled crème-colored fingerboard binding, single-ply thin binding around the body, and period-correct switchwasher and jackplate. The 1956 Les Paul Goldtop comes either a V.O.S. or Gloss finish, and comes with the standard Gibson Custom case and certificate of authenticity.If you use PayPal..Will ship to lower 48 to verified confirmed PayPAl addresses only...Not shipping out of US...dont even ask....On May-02-10 at 17:25:07 PDT, seller added the following information:To the Gibson collectors and fans ...have you heard of the " Dream Collection "Thats coming from the Custom Shop?
