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. The use of glass-hard hide-glue on the relevant wood joints, together with the nitrocellulose finish, guarantees optimum sound development. Last but not least, the non-slip "Chunky C" neck profile offers optimum playing characteristics.
Two Gibson Custombucker Alnico III pickups and a hand-wired circuit with paper-in-oil capacitors deliver authentic vintage PAF sounds.

The electric sound conversion of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS DoubleGold is handled by two Gibson Custombuckers 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 highs, 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.
Six Kluson vintage-style tuners with historically correct single-ring wings guarantee stable and precise tuning.
