1952.

According to Tony Bacon in his 'The Les Paul Guitar Book'...

"Early samples...were shipped to Gibson's case manufacturer, Geib, at the end of Aril and to Les himself late in May. Some dealers began to receive stock in June."

The guitar was first shown to the public at a pre-NAMM show in New York on the 24th, 25th July and then the NAMM show itself from July 27th - 31st.
