The Gibson Custom 57 Les Paul All Gold Light Aged solidbody electric guitar is a painstakingly accurate tribute to one of the most iconic guitar models ever made. Thousands of hours of research went into re-engineering every component to capture the magic of a 1957 "Gold Top" Les Paul pulled fresh off the factory line. Whether you're a die-hard vintage purist or simply crave the unmistakable vibe of a cherished classic, this instrument will transport you back in time.

Vintage-Authentic Tonewoods and Construction

Just like the original '57s, the All Gold Light Aged starts with a solid mahogany body attached to a carved maple top using hot hide glue construction. The premium tonewoods sing with warmth and sustain that only gets richer over time. Trapezoid inlays adorn the rosewood fingerboard, which is paired with a medium-chunky neck profile that exemplifies vintage Gibson feel. Every detail down to the narrow-tall frets has been scrutinized to nail that iconic '50s playability.

Dual CustomBucker Pickups Deliver Legendary PAF Tones

To recreate the legendary Patent Applied For (PAF) humbucker tones of the '50s, Gibson went back to the source and engineered a pair of CustomBucker pickups just for this model. Loaded with sought-after Alnico III magnets, these dual humbuckers produce the rich, warm, buttery voice that made PAFs famous. From chimey, articulate cleans to thick, syrupy overdrive, these pickups will inspire you to explore the sonic palette that defined rock 'n' roll guitar tone.

A Time Capsule of a Bygone Era

Every aspect of the All Gold Light Aged has been meticulously replicated, from the accurate aging of the all-gold finish to the chemical composition of the materials. You'll swear you found a time machine and traveled back to the birth of the solidbody electric. Even the included hardshell case and certificate of authenticity evoke the era. For vintage purists and tone connoisseurs craving the magic of a '57 original, this Custom Shop masterpiece is the real deal.
