What we have here is somethig pretty special. Here is the full story:
This is an 1953 Goldtop to 1959 Burst conversion done by Scott Lentz in the 80s and with a recent refinish by Florian Jager.
The top has a super thin veneer, job very well done as could be expected from Scott Lentz.
You can’t really tell there is a veneer unless you look in the pickups cavity.
Chunky neck but very confortable and very nice to play.
The guitar was refinished by Florian Jäger a year ago. For serious enquiries there are pictures available of the work.
- The Gibson logo was repositioned to correct ‘59 spot by Florian
- Pickups are Gibson Collectors Edition 1959 Series 2
- Original ‘59 complete wiring harness with original switch tip (pots dated week 7 of ‘59)
- Tuners are from Vintage Haven
- Stop tailpiece stud anchor bushings are vintage original from late 50s
- Original vintage from 50s pickguard bracket
- Original trussrod cover
- Late 50s knob pointers
- Original late 50’s low profile abr-1 bridge (saddles are correct soft brass by Area ‘59)
- Hand Aged CAB (cellulose acetate butyrate) knobs
So if you want vintage woods and amazing resonance and tone with Burst looks and dont want to pay 500k, here you go :-)
