Everything was relic??d including the hardware, and the back of the neck was sanded off, so no sticky feeling when going up and down the neck.

This is an exceedingly rare set of 6 all original early 1952 Gibson Les Paul gold top Kluson Deluxe tuners. This version is seen in the very earliest 1952 Les Pauls.
