The Story

1957 Les Paul Goldtop Darkback Reissue Light Aged

Nothing beats the timeless looks of a '57 Goldtop if you ask us, and when you add in subtle tweaks like an Aged Murphy Lab finish and a Darkback color? This one is a winner! A Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul in Double Gold with a Light Aged treatment by the Murphy Lab that gives the guitar lacquer checking and very small markings around the body. It's the look and feel of a guitar that's been gigged but not abused over the years. Specs include all hide glue construction, Custombucker pickups, and an ABR-1 bridge.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
