Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case - Double Gold

Description

1957 was the year that the Les Paul[trade], as most players think of it today, truly came into its own. It was the first full year that it had Patent Applied For humbucker[trade] pickups installed. The humbuckers, along with the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic[trade] bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece that first appeared on a Les Paul with the introduction of the Les Paul Custom in late 1953 and on the Goldtop in late 1955, were defining features that many players still prefer over the earlier models that had a wraparound bridge/tailpiece and P-90 pickups and made the Les Paul into a true fire-breathing rock icon. Now, Epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, is very proud to introduce the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue, a stunningly authentic Inspired by Gibson Custom reissue of those early humbucker-equipped Les Paul Goldtops that delivers vintage Les Paul looks and performance at an accessible price. It has a genuine mahogany body with a carved, plain maple cap. It is finished in a new Vintage Gloss version of the classic Gold color that gives it a vintage appearance without looking overly aged. The one-piece genuine mahogany neck has a 50s Rounded Medium C profile and a ECLPR7DGNH
