Authentic reissue of the 57 goldtop Les Paul

With the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS Double Gold presents the Gibson Custom Shop presents an authentic reissue of the electric guitar that paved the way for the legendary "'Bursts" of the late 1950s. Accordingly, the electric guitar features a mahogany body with maple top and a set mahogany neck in "Chunky C-Shape", with all joints done with Hide Glue. Two Gibson Custombuckers with Alnico-III magnets and a hand-wired circuit with historically correct Paper-in-Oil capacitors evoke the authentic vintage PAF sounds for Blues and Rock. Last but not least, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue features authentic Kluson Single Line/Single Ring tuners and the signature Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece combination.

Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop in authentic construction.

A faithful recreation of the original Goldtop, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is naturally built with the authentic woods and manufacturing methods, so the electric guitar boasts a premium sound and feel. Accordingly, the Gibson Custom Shop relies on a one-piece mahogany body with maple top, while the glued mahogany neck features the long neck root and carries an Indian rosewood fingerboard. The use of glass-hard Hide-Glue on the relevant wood joints, together with the nitrocellulose finish, guarantees optimal sound development. Last but not least, the grippy "Chunky C" neck profile offers optimal playing characteristics.

Two Gibson Custombucker Alnico-III pickups and a hand-wired circuit with Paper-In-Oil capacitors deliver authentic vintage PAF tones.

Gibson Custombucker with handwired circuitry.

The electrical tone conversion of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS Double Gold is handled by two Gibson Custombuckers in neck and bridge positions. Equipped with Alnico III magnets and non-waxed coils, the humbuckers prove to be authentic PAF recreations and deliver an especially warm vintage sound. Cleanly articulating basses, a wide and vocal midrange spectrum and brilliant highs, together with the organic dynamics, support expressive electric guitar playing in both the clean and overdrive channels. The hand-wired circuitry allows for particularly sensitive and harmonic adjustment of the sound thanks to the authentic oil-paper capacitors.

Six Kluson vintage-style tuners with historically correct single-ring action guarantee stable and precise tuning.

Authentic hardware finish

A high-quality hardware in historically correct Vintage-Style completes the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue. Here, the combination of Gibson ABR-1 No-Wire Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar aluminum tail piece devised by Ted McCarty promises optimal adjustment of intonation and string action. At the headstock, the strings are also guided via the authentic nylon s addle to the Kluson tuners with single-ring wings, which ensure precise and stable tuning of the electric guitar.
