Who could build a more authentic guitar and better PAF replicas than the man who was the luthier, repair man and sound man for the legendary Les Paul himself for almost 50 years: Tom Doyle! With his "Time Machine Relic Series" he has dedicated himself completely to the look, sound and feel of the sought-after LPs from the 50s. Each instrument is completely hand aged (no razor blades). To reproduce the sound as accurately as possible he uses the handwound True Clone PAF Humbuckers and the "'59 Holy Grail Harness" with 550k high Audio J Taper Pots and Real Paper in Oil Vintage Repro Bumblebees. This historic correctness is rounded off by the original Lifton Case, which is of course also hand aged. The basis for this Time Machine 57 Goldtop is a custom Shop Goldtop from 2013, which has been recreated in every detail with a heavy relic look, like a Goldtop played for 60 years. The humbuckers are simply top-notch, very direct, great sound and dynamics, as you know it from the originals. These Tom Doyle Time Machine Les Pauls are very hard to find as they are built in extremely small numbers.
