2003 Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1957 Les Paul Reissue Limited (1957 reissue) Gold Top

A true classic, this 2003 Gibson Custom Shop '57 reissue Les Paul Limited remains as cool today as it was back then. Complete with a Brazilian Rosewood board, this guitar is in amazing shape, an absolute beauty. The thick neck profile of this R7 is incredibly comfortable to hold, boasting a special, powerful resonance that cuts right through the mix. This axe truly sings! The iconic Goldtop finish is gorgeous, and this guitar truly shines with one of the best sounding sets of Throbak SLE-101 PAF style pickups available on the market. These pickups offer a woodsy, throaty, and clear tone with a balanced midrange, instantly recognizable as the emblematic sound of the '50s. This axe hardly needs an introduction. Its huge, deep Mahogany sound is enhanced by the Maple cap, providing the instrument with top-end chime and sparkle. When you pick up this instrument, it's like holding a piece of music history in your hands.
