I saw these videos on the Gibson web site recently, and thought I would share them here. They are two clips from the popular PBS show, Antiques Roadshow. If you’re not familiar with the program, people bring in their antiques to have them appraised by an expert. In these two videos, you can see two owners each bring in a beautifully preserved 1952 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop guitars. It’s interesting hearing the experts appraise these guitars, as well as the back-stories from the owners.
