Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue VOS
This guitar, crafted by the Gibson Custom Shop in the USA, is an authentic reproduction of the iconic 1957 Les Paul Goldtop. This model laid the foundation for the famous "Bursts" of the late 1950s and embodies vintage craftsmanship!
This Les Paul has been meticulously recreated to offer the experience of a genuine 1957 Goldtop. The mahogany body with a maple top delivers the resonance and warm tone for which the original models are renowned. Its set-in mahogany neck with a Long Neck Tenon, crafted with traditional bone glue, provides exceptional sustain and strength. Its VOS nitrocellulose finish with a vintage patina gives the guitar a beautiful, authentic look, as if it has been carefully preserved for decades!
Sound-wise, this guitar is a paragon of vintage tone. It features two hand-wound Gibson Custombuckers with Alnico III magnets. The neck pickup offers warm, smooth tones perfect for blues and jazz, while the bridge pickup delivers bright, powerful sounds ideal for rock and lead parts. Thanks to the hand-wired electronics and paper-in-oil capacitors, you get the authentic PAF sound that guitarists dream of!
The guitar features vintage hardware such as the Gibson No-Wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece, which together provide the legendary sustain and tuning stability of a Les Paul. Kluson Single Line/Single Ring Vintage-style tuners complete the package and ensure reliable performance. It comes in a Custom Shop hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.
