The Gibson Custom Shop continues to improve every year with bringing back all the features that the Original '57 Gold Top had. From the improved Double Gold top finish, Hide Glue Fit top and fingerboard, Aged Trapazoid Inlays, Alnico III Unpotted pickups, and Paper-in-Oil Capacitors are just a few of the many improvements this year's model has over all the rest. The iconic '57 Goldtop has been the tool of choice for countless guitar heroes. This authentic recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop's tireless quest for accuracy to the original year of production.
This 2021 model features Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of natural play wear, giving it the unique
character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. The aging on this Les Paul is some of the most authentic to date.
