The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS is oozing with classic tone and vintage-original-spec authenticity. Its eye-grabbing VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish captures the depth, richness, and hue of a genuine ’57 Goldtop — one of the most iconic solidbody electric guitars ever made. Handcrafted by Gibson’s elite Custom Shop luthiers, the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS features top-shelf tonewoods, including solid mahogany for the body and chunky C-profile neck and Indian rosewood for the fingerboard. Plug this beast into your favorite tube amp, and experience searing ’50s PAF tones, courtesy of CustomBucker Alnico III unpotted pickups. Premium historical appointments, including cellulose trapezoid inlays and vintage-style Kluson tuners complete this meticulous reissue.
