Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop 2014 Gloss

We decided to take the last chance to order those amazing Reissues with 2014 specs, just before this Historic Reissue line will be discontinued for the new improved, but widely more expensive, True Historic Collection.

This Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop still features the long-tenon neck joint, which delivers an amazing sustain and a warm tone. It also features hide glues for neck and fingerboard joint.

The truss rod in the mahogany neck is unsheathed from its tube encasing from previous years. These are changes which we feel increases the resonance of the instrument, and the hide-glue also is helpful in removing the neck of the guitar for repair without damaging the surrounding wood of the body. The Kluson Deluxe tuners have been redesigned, with a proper vintage shape and color. Also, the fretboard and body binding has been darkened color-wise for a more vintage-accurate look.

The 2014 1957 Les Paul Goldtop is loaded with Custom Bucker pickups, humbuckers that are Gibsons last and most accurate recreation of the original '50s PAF pickups yet, if you ask us. The Custom Buckers sound full and detailed, with lots of punch and great response to both your picking dynamics as well as the volume and tone settings.
