Description
Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue - Double Gold
The 1957 Les Paul Goldtop is the guitar that defined an era and arguably perfected the solid-body electric guitar. Here at Palen Music Center, we are thrilled to offer this Gibson Custom Shop masterpiece, which captures the exact moment Gibson transitioned into the legendary humbucking era. This reissue features a solid, lightweight mahogany body topped with a two-piece maple cap, joined together by period-correct hot hide glue. The result is a resonance and sustain that feels alive in your hands, echoing the same "working man’s" elegance that made this model a staple for legends like Duane Allman and Freddie King.
Under the hood, you’ll find a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, meticulously designed to replicate the bite, warmth, and dynamic response of original 1957 PAFs. Whether you're chasing the "woman tone" or a snarling blues lead, these pickups deliver with haunting accuracy. The "Chunky C" neck profile offers a substantial, palm-filling grip that feels broken-in and comfortable, especially combined with the Vintage Original Sheen (VOS) finish that gives the hardware and nitrocellulose lacquer a gentle, authentic patina.
