Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue VOS Electric Guitar, Double Gold

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue VOS is oozing with classic tone and vintage-original-spec authenticity.

Handcrafted by Gibson's elite Custom Shop luthiers, the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue VOS features top-shelf tonewoods, including a solid mahogany body and Chunky C profile neck, a two-piece maple top, and a silky smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 Historic narrow tall frets, Plek'd to perfection. Plug this beast into your favorite tube amp, and experience fat, snarling '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.
