Description
◆Includes IKEBE REUSE certified used instrument warranty (valid for 12 months from the date of purchase)◆

A used '57 style Les Paul, featuring open-type zebra pickups and a carefully designed neck profile, has arrived, ordered by a music store!

Established in 1993, the Gibson Custom Shop is dedicated to creating the ultimate electric guitars and basses through long-cultivated high-level manufacturing techniques, an insatiable spirit of inquiry, and carefully selected materials. Even today, the Custom Shop lineup, crafted using traditional handcrafting methods and thoroughly researched vintage knowledge, boasts unparalleled craftsmanship and will become the ultimate instrument to endlessly ignite the inspiration within each player.

The Gold Top color was featured in the Les Paul Model lineup from its inception in 1952 until mid-1958. While various burst finishes, such as Cherry Sunburst, were introduced in the Standard Series after 1958, the Gold Top color remained overwhelmingly popular. With its yellowish inlays, aged nickel hardware, and Bumblebee pickups, this is a truly supreme instrument that embodies a commitment to vintage style. Gibson's Gold color has undergone minor changes to its recipe many times, but this time it's a Double Gold color that Gold Top lovers will absolutely adore!
This model also features a dark back, giving it a more subdued look compared to the standard 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue Gold Top, allowing you to enjoy the contrast with the gold.

The neck shape features the "1959 V1 Authentic Medium," which is thinner than the standard '57 style. It offers excellent balance and a comfortable grip that feels great in the hand.

Furthermore, the pickups feature the "Custombucker Alnico II," an open-type pickup with a zebra pattern, which is different from the usual Alnico III and delivers a more powerful sound.

This particular item is in excellent condition, with only minor scratches and signs of use overall.
The truss rods have ample adjustment range in both the tightening and loosening directions, and there are no problems with the operation of the electrical system or the truss rods.
