The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue electric guitar is a meticulous homage to one of the most iconic guitars ever created. Crafted by Gibson's talented Custom Shop team, this '57 Reissue captures every nuance that made the original Goldtops prized by countless guitar heroes over the decades. From its carved AA figured maple top with the shimmering gold "Bullion" nitrocellulose finish to the premium tonewoods and vintage-spec electronics, this is as close as you can get to owning a priceless 1957 original.

Uncompromising Vintage Construction

Every component has been meticulously re-engineered to replicate the original 1957 Les Paul Goldtops down to the finest details. The carved AA figured maple top is bound in nitrocellulose lacquer, while the mahogany back is treated with Gibson's proprietary Antiquity Burst for that luscious aged look. Hotter than vintage hide glue joins the maple top and mahogany back for superior resonance transfer. Even the '57 Reissue profile on the hide glue-secured mahogany neck is replicated precisely to recreate the vintage playing feel. Premium hardware like the ABR-1 bridge and vintage tulip tuners leave no detail overlooked.

A Legendary Look and Feel

Hold this '57 Reissue and you'll be transported back in time to the golden age of rock and blues guitar. The carved AA figured maple top, gold nitrocellulose Bullion finish and aged Antiquity Burst on the back present a stunning vintage aesthetic. The '57 Reissue profile on the quartersawn hide glue mahogany neck provides the familiar feel of a well-played vintage Les Paul neck. Details like the vintage tulip tuners, historic truss rod cover and long tenon neck heel only enhance the nostalgic vibe. This guitar looks, feels and sounds like the real deal because it adheres to the original '57 spec in every way.

The Quintessential Les Paul Tone

At the heart of this '57 Reissue lies a pair of exceptional PAF-style humbucking pickups that recreate the legendary tones that helped define rock and blues guitar playing. The warm, vocal midrange, brilliant highs and rich, resonant lows produced by these vintage-spec pickups are the secret sauce behind the most revered Les Paul tones. You'll achieve remarkable clarity and singing sustain whether riffing out chunky rhythms, firing off blistering leads or wailing on soulful blues lines. A 3-way pickup selector switch plus individual volume and tone controls provide a wealth of sonic versatility.
