Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue 2025 - Gold Top

Developed in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop as part of the Inspired by Gibson Custom series, this Goldtop nails the look, tone, and feel of the first humbucker-equipped Les Pauls — and does it at a fraction of the price of a vintage original.

The solid mahogany body with a plain maple top delivers classic tone and resonance, while the Vintage Gloss Gold finish adds just the right amount of vintage mojo. The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile is substantial but comfortable, true to the originals, with a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain and stability. It’s topped with a bound rosewood fretboard and vintage-spec mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays.

Tone comes courtesy of two Gibson USA Custombuckers — unpotted Alnico 3 pickups that deliver that unmistakable warm, articulate ‘50s humbucker sound. They’re wired up with CTS pots, Bumblebee capacitors, and Switchcraft components, just like the originals.

Finished off with nickel hardware, a vintage-correct ABR-1 bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and “open book” headstock, this Les Paul is all class. Comes with Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom brown hardshell case with plush pink interior.
