The Phoenominal Les Paul

A 1957 Gold Top selling for $80,000.

A 1953 Gold Top selling for $50,000. I prefer the single coil P-90 and the single tail piece. The intonation may not be spot on but the tone makes up for it.

I have to address the recent explosion of '50s Les Pauls. Sunbursts have always lead the market, now regularly over $100,000 they even dragged Gold Tops up too. Not bad for a guitar that sold for $267.00 in '55. The rise in price has dragged up all Les Pauls even new ones are going for crazy prices and I don't think they play or sound that great.
