{"product_id":"gibson-custom-shop-1957-les-paul-standard-reissue-vos-gold-top","title":"Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Gold Top","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf there is a single year that defines what the Les Paul became, it is 1957 — the year Seth Lover’s PAF humbucker arrived in production and permanently changed the sound of the electric guitar. The 1957 Goldtop is the instrument that carried those first humbuckers into the world, and the Gibson Custom Shop’s reissue honors that moment with the precision and period-correct detail that separates a genuine historic reissue from a tribute. The Gold Top finish — nitrocellulose VOS with its soft vintage patina — glows with the warmth of a well-aged original, and the “light back” specification brings the natural honey mahogany color to the back that the best examples from 1957 carried, a period-correct detail that collectors recognize immediately. Murphy Lab Heavy Aged nickel hardware ages the hardware to a worn, played-in patina that gives the whole instrument the feel of something that has been somewhere — and the Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch case closes the presentation exactly as the original would have. At 8lbs 5oz, this is an exceptionally well-weighted example of a format that can run heavy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBeneath the Gold Top, every construction detail resolves to 1957: 1-piece lightweight mahogany body, 2-piece maple top fitted with hide glue, long tenon neck joint fitted with hide glue, Authentic 1950s No-Wire truss rod, 50s Chunky “D” mahogany neck with cream single-ply Royalite fingerboard binding, aged Cellulose Nitrate trapezoid inlays on Indian Rosewood, and Historic Gibson Narrow\/Tall frets at 24.75\" scale. Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups at both neck and bridge — Gibson’s most accurate PAF recreation, with the softer, warmer Alnico 3 magnet that gives vintage humbuckers their characteristic bloom and musical sensitivity — run through CTS 500K Audio Taper pots with Paper-in-Oil capacitors and a 3-way Switchcraft selector. No-Wire ABR-1 with nickel-plated brass saddles, lightweight aluminum stop bar, Kluson Single Line Single Ring tuners, brown Royalite control covers, Amber Catalin switch tip. Certificate of Authenticity, Historic Reissue hang tags, and Gibson Custom Switchplate Medallion included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003e1957 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) (Light Back) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-Ply 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 Chunky \"D\"\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 Custombucker Alnico 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custombucker Alnico 3\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, Murphy Lab Heavy 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\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 w\/Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8lbs 5oz.  \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":53274692157624,"sku":"LPR57VODGNH1","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson761329_001availableatInterStellarGuitars.jpg?v=1793121185","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-1957-les-paul-standard-reissue-vos-gold-top","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
