The Story

1957 Les Paul Goldtop Dark Back 2018

Who doesn't love a cool Darkback Goldtop! This is a wonderful example of such, built by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2018. The usual light-colored mahogany back and neck have a darker walnut stain on the Darkback models. This '57 has barely any wear to it and includes the original case with the Gibson COA!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
