1956 Gibson Les Paul Special

I purchased this very clean 1956 Gibson Les Paul Special in original Lifton hard shell case from the son of its original owner only a few weeks. The original finish, described in Gibson's own 1956 catalog as Limed Mahogany, is particularly well preserved appearing almost white instead of the typical amber yellow hue. I personally fawned over the personalized letter stickers over the fretboard and couldn't bring myself to remove them. I would be happy to remove them before shipping if you prefer since they're only lightly adhered. There would be no evidence of them having been there if removed.
