A still life of a vintage 1953 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop from the private collection of guitarist Robert Sidwell captured by Commercial, Portrait and Music Photographer Marc Kallweit. This image meticulously documents the heavy nitrocellulose finish checking, authentic play-wear, and the deep patina of the original Goldtop finish.
