Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop in authentic construction

As a faithful recreation of the original Goldtop, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is naturally built with the authentic woods and manufacturing methods, so that the electric guitar offers a first-class sound and feel. Accordingly, the Gibson Custom Shop uses a one-piece mahogany body with a maple top, while the glued mahogany neck has a long neck foot and a fingerboard made of Indian rosewood.

Gibson custom bucker with hand-wired circuitry

The electric sound conversion of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS Double Gold with Dark Back is handled by two Gibson custom buckers in the neck and bridge position. Equipped with Alnico III magnets and non-waxed coils, the humbuckers prove to be authentic PAF recreations and deliver a particularly warm vintage sound. Cleanly articulating basses, a broad and vocal mid-range spectrum and brilliant trebles, together with the organic dynamics, support expressive electric guitar playing in both the clean and overdrive channels. Thanks to the authentic oil paper capacitors, the hand-wired circuit allows the sound to be adjusted with particular sensitivity and harmony.
