The Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Standard VOS Gold Sparkle is a celebration of everything that has made the Les Paul one of the most iconic electric guitars ever created, while boldly exploring new tonal territory. Built by the master luthiers of Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, this limited-edition instrument captures the unmistakable feel and craftsmanship of a legendary late-'50s Les Paul before introducing a unique pickup combination that sets it apart from anything else in the lineup. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this remarkable guitar is equally at home in the hands of collectors and serious players seeking something truly distinctive.

At its core is the timeless recipe that defined the golden era of electric guitars: a solid mahogany body topped with carved maple, finished in Gibson's VOS nitrocellulose lacquer for the appearance and feel of a well-preserved vintage original. The dazzling Gold Sparkle finish gives this guitar an unmistakable stage presence while retaining all the elegance expected of a historic Les Paul reissue. A substantial 1950s Chunky D mahogany neck with a long neck tenon provides exceptional sustain and resonance, while the bound rosewood fingerboard, narrow tall frets, and classic trapezoid inlays deliver an authentic vintage playing experience.

The defining feature of this Limited Edition model is its pair of TV Jones Powertron humbuckers. Instead of the traditional PAF-style Custombuckers found on most '57 reissues, these pickups blend the punch, articulation, and clarity of classic Filter'Tron-inspired designs with increased output and a richer, darker voice. The result is an incredibly expressive instrument capable of everything from articulate cleans and sparkling rhythm work to thick, harmonically rich overdrive. Traditional dual volume and dual tone controls paired with a three-way toggle switch provide familiar operation while unlocking an entirely fresh sonic palette.

Nickel hardware, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson Deluxe tuners, cream plastics, and gold Top Hat knobs complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic with uncompromising attention to detail. A Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and Historic Reissue hang tags are all included, making this Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Standard VOS Gold Sparkle an exceptional blend of classic Gibson heritage, Custom Shop craftsmanship, and bold modern inspiration.
