Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS (Natural Back) Overview
A truly magnificent instrument with its natural mahogany back and neck, while the top is in gleaming gold with contrasting ivory trim." So says an original Gibson advertisement, circa 1955.The BurstBucker pickups on this Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS (Vintage Original Spec) are precise copies of the original "Patent Applied For" versions that were the first dual-coil humbucking pickups ever produced in quantity. Their full, round, and versatile sound is as unique now as it was then.
Classic carved maple top, solid (non-weight relieved) mahogany back, and one-piece mahogany neck generate the singing resonance that made the original one of the world's most sought-after guitars. Finish and hardware are gently aged to make it look exactly like the real McCoy. Early '50s rounded neck profile gives you something serious to hang onto.
