As those of you who are into vintage guitars are probably aware, the original incarnation of the Gibson Les Paul released in 1952 was virtually unplayable due to the strings running under (!?) the tail piece rather than over it.
However, help is at hand!
You can now make your 1952/53 playable with the Trapeaze™ from Crazy Pig Designs.
I’ve played a ’52 with the prototype of the Trapeaze™ on it and it really does work, turning an unplayable guitar into an absolute killer.
