Swipe Available Color Options Below

Goldtop was the first color option in which Les Paul was available. It wasn`t until 1954 and the first issue of Les Paul Custom that the Ebony color scheme with golden hardware joined the roster. In 1958 Gibson added the ubiquitous "burst", thus completing the classic Les Paul color palette. Standard Historic 1957 Les Paul Goldtop is a faithful recreation of arguably the most famous Goldtop ever made (`57 Les Paul Standard Goldtop was the first LP ever to feature humbucking pickups). There are three color options available: Antique Gold Gloss, Antique Gold VOS and Antique Gold VOS w/Dark Back. All three cost $4,699. main features include one-piece mahogany body, plain maple top, one-piece mahogany neck (w `57 profile), one-piece rosewood fingerboard (1-11/16" nylon nut, 12" radius) and Custom Bucker pickups (wound to mimic the tone of the original PAFs).
