A Gold Mine of Tone!

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals.


Fat, satisfying '54 profile neck

The 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue's Chunky “C” profile neck is the Holy Grail for many Les Paul players who prefer thick necks. If you're in this camp, those '60s SlimTaper necks aren't for you — wrapping your fretting hand around a juicy tree trunk of a neck is the real deal. The 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is your kind of axe.


P-90 pickups deliver the original sound of the Les Paul

When the Les Paul first came out, the P-90 was the only pickup option. And when PAF humbuckers came out, P-90s were all but reduced to "budget pickups." Well, it only took about a decade or three for many guitar players to come back around to the good old P-90. Why? Because they sound amazing! Warm and creamy, shiny and full of life, the Custom Soapbar P-90s in this 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue capture the very essence of the classic pre-PAF Dog Ear P-90. Roll back the tone and keep the volume in check, and you've got access to the liquid jazz lines Les Paul himself liked to play, or open them up and tap into a slightly rude and gritty tone. Simple as they are, these classic pickups give the 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue the wide range of classic tones you crave.


The benefits of a wraparound tailpiece

The Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue sports a vintage-correct wraparound bridge/tailpiece. Are you among the guitarists who believe that this setup — minimizing points of contact with the string — transfers more energy to the guitar body, thus improving tone? Or perhaps you feel a wraparound enhances your string-bending range by reducing the required excursion to nail a particular pitch. Regardless of the theory behind it, if you're a fan of early Les Pauls, you'll love the 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue's wraparound tailpiece.

Vintage Original Sheen finish, for the look and feel of a classic

Gibson Custom's Vintage Original Sheen finish option comes standard on Custom Shop Historic Reissue models. The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina. The nitrocellulose finished it buffed to a light matte appearance, giving a look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years.

  • The perfect axe for early Les Paul fans
