Description

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS is a slice of guitar history brought to life with painstaking detail. This Double Gold beauty captures the spirit of the late-50s original from the one-piece mahogany back and hide-glued maple top to the chunky 50s neck profile that feels solid and reassuring in the hand. Finished in a lush nitrocellulose patina it oozes vintage character straight out of the case while the aged trapezoid inlays and Royalite binding seal the deal for period-correct authenticity. Its as close as youll get to a 1957 original without the vintage price tag. At the heart of the Goldtop Reissue are a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups faithfully recreating that warm dynamic tone that defined a generation of rock and blues players. The lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece no-wire ABR-1 bridge and Kluson tuners keep things locked in delivering rock-solid performance with a classic feel. Every detail down to the butyrate gold top hat knobs and historically accurate plastics has been dialled in for absolute authenticity. The 1957 Goldtop Reissue isnt just a guitar its an heirloom instrument that begs to be played and treasured.
