Overview
The iconic ’57 Goldtop has been the tool of choice for countless guitar heroes. Its elegant gold finish, classic solid mahogany/maple construction and versatile humbucking pickups make one wonder “what else can I possibly need in a guitar?” This is probably why it gained the reputation as the “working man’s Les Paul” – less flashy than its figured-top sunburst counterparts from 1958-1960, but almost identical under the hood.
This 2018 Historic Series recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shop’s tireless quest for exacting accuracy to the original year of production, from the woods to the construction to the parts and precise contours throughout. Two new updates for 2018 include the inclusion of all True Historic-spec parts and, for the first time, narrow/tall frets which bring the tone and playability closer to the character of the originals.

This thing has a presence, look, feel and sound. This guitar is amazing. Beautiful look and feel. Right out of the case, the setup was spot on and I'm pretty fussy with that. All I had to do was take it out of the case and play it. The intonation is perfect. No sour spots up and down the neck. I've got a LP Classic that I have to constantly battle the tuning. This is easy to tune and stays in tune. It has such a great sound! I've been a gigging musician for over 30 years and mostly play Fenders but this really won me over. Definitely has the old southern rock vibe from Allman Brothers to ZZ Top to Charlie Daniels to... I'm going to keep this one.
Musical Background:
I've been playing for 40+ years. Gigging for 30+.
Musical Style:
I like just about everything but my favorite stuff to play is old rock from the 70's and 80's.
