Les Paul Vintage Gibson Guitars- A History
Les Paul vintage Gibson guitars were first produced
in 1952. These guitars were the first solid body electric
that Gibson had made. The 1952 version of the Les
Paul vintage guitar has a gold top nitro-cellulose
lacquer finish, and no serial number. This Gibson
was designed by Les and included Kluson Tuners,
a pair of P90 pickups, and retailed for $210.
These Gibson vintage guitars were simply called
'Les Paul' models, and later became known as
Gold Tops because of the finish. Most Les Paul
Gibson vintage Gold Tops have a gold colored
maple top with natural back, a few guitars were
made that had the gold finished all over.
In 1954 Gibson launched the Les Paul Custom
vintage guitar. The Les Paul Custom has an ebony
fretboard, with elaborate bindings on the guitar
body and headstock. Among some guitarists this
Gibson vintage acquired the name 'black beauty'
because of its gold plated hardware and black finish.
The Custom was the first fitted with a tune-o-matic
bridge and tailpiece.
The Les Paul Junior has a flat, uncarved mahogany
body with no binding. The Junior guitar is equipped
with a single P90 pickup, along with an old wraparound
combined bridge/tailpiece. Some Les Paul Juniors
were referred to as Les Paul TV models because of
their blond/yellow finish instead of a sunburst.

Kluson 3-per-Side Tuning Machines Gold $64 These Kluson tuning machines were used on vintage Gibson guitars such as the Les Paul, SG, ES-335 and others. They're also used on the Epiphone Casino and current Epiphone production of Les Paul and G-400 (SG) models. This model of Kluson tuning machines is also a direct replacement for all current reissue 50's and 60's Gibson production and other series that use a vintage style individual tuning machine. This kit comes with six individual tuners, 3 per side (that are not on a plate). All hardware including bushings and mounting screws are included in the set. Please note: If you are retro-fitting a vintage instrument that has been modified or putting this vintage-style Kluson tuner on a modern instrument you may also need to purchase adapter bushings (sold separately) to convert a larger size peg hole to vintage size to allow for proper fit and function.These guitar tuners were historically used on the following guitars: 1958 - 1959 Gibson Flying V 1958 - 1959 Gibson ES-345 1956 - 1959 Gibson ES-295 1956 - 1959 Gibson J-200 1956 - 1959 Gibson ES-350 1956 - 1959 ES-5 1957 Gibson Explorer Prototype Futura 1959 Epiphone Crestwood Deluxe |
