From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct-link-to-the-body stud screws maximise sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality.
Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history, and the Gibson Custom Shop has created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel and tone of the originals.
The Murphy Lab 'Heavy Aged' finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of substantial playing wear — giving it the unique character, vibe and feel of an original example from Gibson's "Golden Era".
