Description

High quality second hand recommended item!
A timeless color popular with connoisseurs! We have a high-quality pre-owned Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Standard VOS in stock! Manufactured in 2025, this guitar exudes a divine charm with its Double Gold color. The contrast between the dazzling Gold Top and Dark Back creates a truly dignified piece!

Gibson Custom Shop was established in 1984 to create the finest electric guitars and basses using high-quality manufacturing techniques, an insatiable spirit of inquiry, and carefully selected materials cultivated over many years. The Custom Shop lineup, still built using traditional handcrafting methods and a thorough knowledge of vintage instruments, is unrivaled in its exquisite craftsmanship, and is sure to become the ultimate beloved instrument that will endlessly inspire the player's innermost inspiration.

The Gold Top color was a staple in the Les Paul lineup from the launch of the Les Paul Model in 1952 through mid-1958. While various burst colors, including cherry sunburst, were introduced in the Standard Series from 1958 onward, this color remains incredibly popular. This supreme guitar embodies a commitment to vintage style with its yellowish inlays, aged nickel parts, and bumblebee accents.

In fact, the Gold Top never ceases to captivate the hearts of Les Paul enthusiasts!
Gold Top! Aren't there many enthusiasts who are obsessed with the sweet charm of gold? "The tiger eye sunburst is a bit..." This timeless look will tickle the hearts of enthusiasts who are full of manly integrity!

Gibson's Gold color has undergone minor changes many times, but this time it's a Double Gold color that Gold Top fans will love! Many people have been waiting for this color, which has a balanced blend of yellow and green, creating a calm atmosphere!
What's more, the contrast with the dark back of this specimen is irresistible! It really exudes a dignified atmosphere!

The neck shape is the classic 1957 Les Paul's signature fat '50s Rounded Medium C-Shape. Enjoy the bold neck resonance and tone you expect from a 1957 Les Paul! The frets are also narrow-tall, giving this guitar a vintage feel!

The pickups are the Custom Shop standard "Custombucker Alnico III".
It features a vintage tone that is not too heavy and has a slightly muted feel.
Equipped with a new Bumblebee-type paper oil capacitor and a 500K CTS pot that pursues a vintage curve, the amount of change in both volume and tone when you first turn it down is gentle, allowing you to delicately and freely change the nuances just by using the controls at hand.

As mentioned above, the deep color of the Double Gold color, which has become the main color in gold colors in recent years, is irresistible! The VOS finish creates a dignified look. The faded cherry back makes this a sophisticated guitar!

This time, we have a recommended used item in stock! It was made in 2025.
There are some minor scratches, light scratches on the pickguard, and some tarnish on the parts, but overall it's in excellent condition with minimal signs of use! There are no issues with playability. *Please note that due to the nature of the VOS series finish, scratches and rust are likely to occur on the paint and parts.
