The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS is a meticulously handcrafted masterpiece that captures the essence of the legendary 1957 model. Built with a solid mahogany body, 2-piece maple top, and period-correct hide glue construction, it delivers authentic vintage resonance and character. The beefy Chunky C-shape neck paired with a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard feels substantial and responsive in hand. Two unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers produce warm, articulate tones with classic '50s PAF chime—clear and responsive without excessive output. The hand-wired electronics feature CTS potentiometers and vintage paper-in-oil capacitors for authentic circuit behavior. Completed with a no-wire ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson tuning machines, every detail honors the original spec. The VOS nitrocellulose finish showces gentle aging and patina for a genuinely vintage appearance. A true collector's instrument and studio workhorse for players seeking uncompromised vintage accuracy and tone.
