1998 Gibson Custom Shop '57 Les Paul Goldtop Electric Guitar - Used

Includes: Original Hardshell Case

This is one killer Goldtop where everything just lines up for a perfect look, sound, and feel. A pre-owned Custom Shop '57 reissue made in 1998. This gloss-finished Goldtop is built of a maple top on a solid mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a chunky 50's profile and rosewood fretboard, trapezoid inlays, 24-3/4" scale length, 22 frets, '57 Classic humbuckers an ABR-1 bridge with wire and stopbar tailpiece, and nickel hardware.

There are some light surface marks around the top of the guitar, with a small ding on the back edge of the body. There is a small amount of fretwear going down the G string area of the frets, however there are no dead spots. The hardware has some tarnishing to the nickel, nevertheless these '57 Classics sound fantastic with a super-thick and crystal clear Les Paul tone. Overall an excellent Goldtop with classic looks and superb playability.
