{"product_id":"gibson-custom-shop-1956-les-paul-standard-reissue-vos-gold-top","title":"Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS - Double Gold","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThere is a singular year in Les Paul history that stands apart from all the others — not 1959, not 1958, but 1956. It was the only full calendar year in which the Les Paul model married the raw, searing power of P-90 soapbar pickups with the newly introduced ABR-1 adjustable bridge, unlocking a level of intonation, sustain, and sonic authority that players had never experienced before. The Interstellar Tone Traveler traveled deep into Gibson Custom Shop's historic archive to bring home this extraordinary '56 Reissue Goldtop in Double Gold — a finish so rare and visually commanding it stops you cold before you've played a note. Where a standard Goldtop gleams on top alone, the Double Gold treatment extends that rich, vintage gold across the entire instrument — top, back, and sides — creating a cohesion and presence that feels genuinely regal under stage lights or studio floods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEvery detail of this Custom Shop reissue has been executed with the kind of obsessive period accuracy that separates Gibson's historic program from everything else in the market. Hot hide glue construction throughout — body top fit, neck joint — replicates the acoustic coupling of the originals. The authentic 1950s no-tube truss rod, Historic narrow\/tall frets, long tenon neck joint, paper-in-oil capacitors, Kluson Single Line single-ring tuners, and Switchcraft hardware are all period-correct and uncompromising. The VOS nitrocellulose finish wears that subtle vintage patina that makes this guitar feel decades old the moment you pick it up. Custom P-90 soapbar pickups deliver the voice that defined 1956 — bright, percussive, harmonically rich, and capable of genuine ferocity when pushed. At 8 lbs 10 oz, she's a comfortable player, and she arrives in a Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch case with COA, Historic Reissue hang tags, and Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion. A true time capsule from the golden year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003e1956 Les Paul Standard Reissue \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-Piece Lightweight Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Top:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Piece Maple, Hide Glue Fit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-Ply Cream Royalite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e Nylon, 1.69\"\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50's Rounded \"C\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historic Gibson Narrow\/Tall 22 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic 1950s No-Tube\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream, Single Ply Royalite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom P90 Soapbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom P90 Soapbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Way Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e No-Wire ABR-1 (Nickel-Plated Brass Saddles)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel, VOS Aged\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Authentic Profile Nickel Silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitchwasher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silkscreened Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eAuthentic Stepped 2-Ply \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber Catalin \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kluson Single Line, Single Ring \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e  M69 Cellulose Acetate Butyrate \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown Royalite \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e COA, Historic Reissue Hang Tags, Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion 9w\/Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8lbs 10oz.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53274704249016,"sku":"LPR56VODGNH1","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson66141_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1783717714","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-1956-les-paul-standard-reissue-vos-gold-top","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
