Immerse yourself in the golden era of rock with the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop ’57 Reissue, a timeless blend of style and sound. This classic piece is more than a mere replica, it's a meticulous recreation of the '57 Goldtop, possessing all the charm and character that made the original a legend.

The Gibson Les Paul Goldtop ’57 Reissue is a testament to Gibson Custom Shop's relentless pursuit for authenticity. This musical masterpiece is designed with Historic Series specifications, accurately reflecting the original year of production in every contour and component. The solid mahogany/maple construction ensures a robust, resonant tone while the versatile humbucking pickups promise a wide tonal palette.
