• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

1952 Gibson LP Gold Top - to restore or to convert?

Refinish the top, clean the routes and fix the bridge position. If you have original P90s, stick with them, but if you don't, I could live with humbuckers as it's already routed

If you want to sell it, I would ditch the ABR as it would require a neck reset for proper adjustment (and it would cost more so less money on the sale). Wraparound goldtops are beasts

I'm digging the current funky dull Gold top, myself. I'd buy it from you as is. Slap some nice pups in there and you are ready to go! :dude:
