Gibson True Historic 1957 Les Paul Reissue Vintage Antique Gold #75230
Gibson's most authentic Goldtop
The instruments made in this Gibson Custom Shop True Historic series are of the highest precision and present the classic characteristics of the originals. The series is the successor to the LPR models and benefits from the results of the knowledge gained during the Collector's Choice series, from wet intermediate sanding and classic Double carving to the use of hot bone glue to come closer than ever to the legend of 1957.
The mahogany neck with long neck foot (Long Neck Tenon) is glued with "Hot Hide Glue" up to under the neck pickup. This not only cures glass-hard, but also enables accurate Neck resets by heating the neck glue. Of course, the Neck shaping is based on the strong profile of the 1957, which has the classic neck strength with an inch of wood under the 12th fret.
After preparation using modern CNC technology, the authentic " Double carving" is ground by hand, whereby all transitions, edges and the body binding are checked and adapted. Last but not least, the ageing in the form of cracks in the drying nitrocellulose finish and traces of playing in the most common places gives the feeling of an instrument played over decades.
The 57 was the first Les Paul production model with double humbucker equipment. In comparison to the P90, the double spool winders developed by Seth Lover delivered a wide range of sounds and shaped the predicate of the P.A.F. sound, which is still sought-after today. With the Custom Bucker Gibson pickups from the Gibson Custom Shop traditional manufacturer, the classic recipe with two slightly differently wound coils, AWG42 wire strength and the use of Alnico III magnets, the Bucker Pickups from the P.A.F. relies on the warm and bell-like sound of the P.A.F. with a harmonious output balance between sober clean and distorted leads.
