Le Paul Guitar Auction: 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special - Vintage Rare

Les Paul Guitars Auction Description: 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special - "TV" Vintage GuitarThis is an ORIGINAL 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special - "TV" vintage guitar. This is NOT a reissue or replica. I have owned it for 30 years. It was used onstage in the early 80's by a well known San Francisco Bay Area lead guitarist now living in Austin, TX. It has been rarely used since then and is an extremely rare find that is in excellent condition. It is original natural Limed Mahogany (not retouched) and referred to as "TV", which it became commonly known as, because it showed up better on black and white TV's than other colors at that time. This is a great looking and fantastic playing guitar and the kicker is, it only weighs 7 Lbs! It has been recently completely gone thru and its originality verified by the premier guitar technician in the Reno, NV area. It was restrung with GHS 010 GBL Boomers (10-46 light gauged strings) and has been thoroughly inspected, all cleaned, adjusted, polished, pro set up, tuned to pitch and ready to rock. The body, frets, P-90 pickups, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, inner working electronics and solder joints are all original and in beautiful working condition. The fretboard and frets have almost no wear. The neck is perfectly straight and the truss rod has never had a wrench on it. Please see close-up pictures showing non-original parts including after market Leo Quan BadAss bridge (an upgraded bridge that allows for each individual string to be fine tuned at the tail piece), after market Kluson (like original) gears and vintage hard case. Please note (in close-up picture) that there is a small 1 cm. nick on the front of the body 3.5 cm. above the lower pickup. There is some light finish checking which is normal in the "TV" finish. This guitar is in remarkable condition. Guitar - Sold AS-IS, no warranties expressed or implied. NO RETURNS!! Buyer is responsible for all shipping and insurance charges. I will only ship via UPS.
