Gibson Custom 56 Les Paul Standard Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar (with Case), Main
A replica of a 1956 Les Paul Standard, this Custom shop VOS model evokes the year Gibson refined the Goldtop with an adjustable bridge and stopbar tailpiece.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Bumblebee capacitors Sweet, full tone; original '50s design
Hot Hide glue construction Better joining contact for improved resonance
No-wire ABR-1 bridge Accurate replication of late '50s Gibson bridge
P-90 pickups Bright and clear; strong mids, great lows

This 2018 Historic Series replication, Gibson Custom Shop captures the look, feel and searing sound of an original 1956 Les Paul Goldtop in exhaustive detail, featuring all solid woods, vintage-accurate gold paint, the latest True Historic replica appointments, narrow/tall frets, and hot hide glue construction.

While the Les Paul was introduced with its famous gold finish in 1952, it took a few years to figure out the best bridge and tailpiece setup. 1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge and stop bar setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and roar like never before.
