The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop is an exceptional reissue of one of the most iconic guitars in history, offering unparalleled craftsmanship and tone. Built to vintage-specifications, this 1957 reissue features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, which provides the warm, resonant tone that has made the Les Paul a staple in rock and blues for decades. The neck is made from solid mahogany with a chunky "50s" profile that delivers a comfortable yet substantial feel, perfectly suited for players who appreciate vintage-style necks. The rosewood fingerboard is adorned with classic trapezoid inlays, completing the vintage aesthetic. The guitar is equipped with a pair of Custom Buckers, which accurately replicate the tone of the original PAF humbuckers, offering a rich, smooth response with excellent clarity and warmth. The Goldtop finish is faithfully recreated with a lustrous nitrocellulose lacquer that ages beautifully, showing off the guitar's premium wood selection. With excellent attention to detail, including the historically accurate hardware like the ABR-1 bridge, Kluson tuners, and a lightweight tailpiece, this 1957 reissue captures the essence of the original in both looks and tone.
