A close encounter with one of the first 100 Gibson Les Pauls ever made

Recently acquired by our friends at ATB Guitars, this all-original 1952 Goldtop was one of the first 100 Les Pauls ever made. Even by the lofty standards of 1950s Gibson Les Pauls, this is a rare instrument indeed, and Guitar.com was lucky enough to spend a few glorious days with it.
