The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue VOS captures one of the most revered electric guitar designs in history with remarkable accuracy. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop this model reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined the original 1957 Les Paul. From its iconic Goldtop finish with Darkback styling to its period-correct construction every aspect of the instrument is designed to recreate the look feel and sound of the vintage original. A solid mahogany neck carved to a chunky 1950s profile delivers the substantial feel that many players associate with classic Les Pauls while the rosewood fingerboard provides smooth playability across 22 frets. A pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups reproduce the warm dynamic voice of early humbuckers delivering everything from smooth blues tones to powerful classic rock drive. Combined with historically accurate construction and a VOS finish that recreates gentle ageing this reissue offers an authentic vintage-inspired playing experience.
