by Gibson
$5,295.00 20160SOLD
The Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul ’57 Goldtop (Model LPR-7) is a faithful reproduction of the original 1957 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. It has been crafted to capture the look, feel and sound of a 1957 Les Paul. And it does not disappoint.
The legendary Les Paul evolved throughout the 1950s, but the major ingredients really came together when the Goldtop earned a tune-o-matic bridge and gained two sweet PAF humbucking pickups to eventually become the most revered weapon in rock.
The Gibson Custom Shop LPR-7 Goldtop brings together all the key ingredients of the hallowed ’57 Goldtop, crafted with Gibson Custom’s Historic specifications to ensure period-correct looks and features.
Select tonewoods, an accurate ’50s neck profile, and two outstanding Alnico III Custom Bucker pickups join a Goldtop finish with gently aged VOS (Vintage Original spec) treatment to bring you a superb ’57-style Les Paul.

And here’s even more detail from the Gibson website - http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2016/Custom/Standard-Historic-1957-Les-Paul-Goldtop.aspx
This particular ’57 Goldtop Reissue has had no modifications - it is in completely original condition, unchanged since new.
The finish on the top, neck & headstock is unmarked. There is some light swirling on the pickguard, and some expected tarnishing of the pickup covers, but overall very little player wear. No dings, dents, or marks anywhere and no buckle rash on the back. The neck is the typical meaty 50s profile – plenty of wood here, but very comfortable to play in all positions.
The frets are fine with little sign of wear. The pickups sound great, and overall this guitar presents in excellent condition at a substantial discount to new price. Gibson Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity is included.
Comes in original Gibson Custom hard shell case in new condition.
