Vintage 1955 Gibson Electric Guitars
Re-sale value of the authentic Les Pauls from the early 1950s is increasing because of the nostalgia for the era even though later models are more usable. You can tell a 1955 because the four knobs changed from a barrel shape to a top-hat (bonnet) shape.
The tone capacitors for all Gibson guitars changed in late 1955, solving the intonation complaints against the earlier models. The Les Paul Standard Goldtop Electric guitar from late 1955 to early 1957 is regarded as a very playable and versatile guitar. They looked and sounded great.
