This is one sweet Les Paul, a Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1956 Gold Top serial number 6 1176.
1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul™ model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before.
