The Gibson Custom Shop R7 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue from 2014 is an authentic reproduction of the legendary ’57 Les Paul. With its beautifully aged Goldtop finish, this guitar brings the spirit of the 1950s to life, enhanced with a Bigsby for extra expressive possibilities.
The 1957 Les Paul Goldtop represents a crucial moment in guitar history. That year, Gibson was actively experimenting with new specifications, resulting in instruments that are now among the most sought-after vintage guitars.
This 2014 Goldtop features a mahogany body and maple top, the classic combination that gives Les Pauls their characteristic warm, mid-rich tone. The '50s Rounded neck profile and one-piece rosewood fingerboard provide the authentic playing feel that the '57 Les Pauls are known for.
The Gibson Custombucker pickups deliver that typical vintage output with plenty of character, sustain, and dynamics. A special feature of this guitar is the added Bigsby vibrato, which adds extra expressiveness and makes it perfectly suited for roots music, rockabilly, and blues.
This 2014 Goldtop, aside from its aged finish, shows only minimal playwear and remains in excellent condition. It comes with its certificate of authenticity and TFOA passport in a deluxe hardshell case.
