This remarkably naturally aged 2002 Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (R4) captures the raw, iconic magic of early solidbody electric design with era-correct craftsmanship and timeless vintage flair. Featuring a carved maple top over a solid mahogany body in an alluring Double Gold VOS nitrocellulose finish, this instrument pairs classic aesthetic charm with exceptional tonality. A pair of original custom soapbar P-90 pickups delivers a thick, versatile sound signature—from warm, articulate cleans to grit-infused midrange bite—while a professionally upgraded TonePros stoptail bridge enhances string resonance and sustain. Crafted during Gibson’s highly regarded "good wood" era, its comfortable '50s rounded mahogany neck and smooth rosewood fingerboard make this reissue an essential piece of golden-era rock 'n' roll history that feels just as inviting as it looks.  

Notes:

This 2002 Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Electric Guitar is in Very Good condition, part of a single-owner, climate controlled collection, with visible wear (pictured in detail) consistent with age and appropriate live and studio use. Professionally refretted and plays beautifully across the fingerboard. TonePros bridge, locking tuners, input jack plate, and pots professionally installed, originals included. Includes original fitted hard case.

All instruments from Music Makers are professionally evaluated and set-up in our historic Galesburg, IL. storefront prior to shipping.
