1956 Gibson Les Paul TV Model
It's our pleasure to introduce this clean 1956 Gibson Les Paul TV Model. We acquired this nice example from a kind lady up in Michigan, and although its pickguard got scratched up, we're just happy it's original. We're also thrilled to see some unique customisation by the original owner. I guess you could name this TV Model "BOB"!
Measurements: 8.0 lbs / 3.65 kg total weight. The neck measures 1.71" / 43.4mm wide at the nut, 0.91" deep at the first fret, and 0.98" deep at the 12th fret. The pickup reads 8.16k ohms.
Originality: All parts, finish, and solder are original to this guitar other than replaced bridge post bushings, new tuner buttons, and a NOS vintage capacitor.
Playability: Excellent! The neck is straight and action is low.
Condition: Very good with no breaks or repairs. There are typical nicks and dings, as well as visible scratches on the pickguard.
Included: This guitar comes with its original case and original strings.
Fine Print: All guitars ship via FedEx Priority Overnight for domestic sales or FedEx Priority International. I offer a 48 hour approval period beginning on delivery for all sales during which you are welcome to opt for a return as long as the guitar is still in as-sent condition. I do not charge a restocking fee, but any non-refunded payment processing fees, outbound shipping, and return shipping costs are subtracted from the refund in the case of a return.
